Olympic Grande Torino Stadium sits in the Santa Rita district in the south of Turin, around three and a half kilometres from the main railway station and the centre, in a residential part of the city rather than the middle of town. The great advantage of the ground is Turin's tram and metro network, which serves it well, so most supporters arrive by tram from the centre. Turin is an elegant, walkable city in the Piedmont region, and the trip out to the ground is quick and simple.
The tram is the easiest way in, with line 4 running from the Porta Nuova station and the centre to the Sebastopoli and Filadelfia stops by the ground in around twelve to fifteen minutes, and line 10 from Porta Susa in around twenty. The trams are frequent on matchday and drop supporters a short walk from the turnstiles. Follow the crowd and the signs from the tram stop to the ground, and the trams are the standard approach for home and away fans alike.
Turin's metro line 1 serves the city, though the nearest stops involve a walk to the ground, so the tram is usually the better bet from the centre. Several bus lines also serve the Santa Rita area and the stadium, including lines 4, 10, 14, 17 and 63, giving alternatives to the tram. The dense public-transport network in Turin means the ground is well connected from across the city, so combining the metro or a bus with a short walk is straightforward.
Turin's main railway stations, Porta Nuova and Porta Susa, connect the city to Milan, the rest of Italy and beyond, with Porta Nuova around three and a half kilometres from the ground and linked by the tram. From the centre the stadium is a walk of around forty-five minutes for those who prefer to go on foot, through the southern districts of the city. Most supporters take the tram from the centre or the station, which is quicker and simpler than walking.
By road Turin is reached from the motorways of Piedmont, and there is parking on the outskirts of the city, though driving into the centre and near the ground is best avoided on matchday given the restrictions and the congestion. The advice is to park on the edge of the city and use the tram or metro in, rather than driving to the stadium. With the good public transport, most supporters find the tram far easier than driving into a busy city on a matchday.
Parking at Olympic Grande Torino Stadium is limited near the ground, as it sits in a residential district of Turin with restrictions on matchday, so driving right to the stadium is not the easiest option. The better approach is to park on the outskirts of the city, where free and paid parking is more available, and take the tram or metro in, avoiding the congestion around the ground and the centre. With the tram from Porta Nuova reaching the stadium in around fifteen minutes and Turin's public transport so dense, most supporters find the tram far easier than driving. Drivers coming from outside the city should aim to park on the edge and complete the journey by public transport.
Olympic Grande Torino Stadium is an oval bowl with a running track around the pitch, rebuilt for the 2006 Winter Olympics, so it is a multi-purpose ground and the seats are set a little further back from the play than at a football-specific stadium. The four stands are the Curva Maratona and the Curva Primavera behind the goals, and the Tribuna Granata and Distinti Granata along the sides, in the maroon of Torino. The Curva Maratona, named after the historic Marathon Tower, is the home of the most passionate Torino support and the heart of the atmosphere on a matchday.
The Curva Maratona behind one goal is the home of Torino's ultras, the loudest and most colourful part of the ground, where the flags, the banners and the singing come from in the granata maroon of the club. This is the section to target for the fullest atmosphere, in the Italian tradition of the curva, though the running track sets it back from the goal. Named after the Marathon Tower, a landmark of the old stadium, it is the beating heart of a Torino matchday and the home of a fiercely loyal support.
The Tribuna Granata along one side is the main stand, holding the premium and hospitality seating, the media positions and the tunnel, with the higher-priced seats and the best central view along the pitch. The Distinti Granata opposite runs the length of the other touchline with good views in a calmer setting. Both give clear sightlines across the ground, and the central rows of the Tribuna Granata are the pick for a tactical overview of the game, though the athletics track keeps all the seats a little back from the pitch.
Away supporters are housed in the south-east corner of the ground, between the Curva Primavera and the Distinti Granata, with good sightlines but with the away section separated from the home support, and an allocation that varies by fixture. The ground has accessible provision, including positions for wheelchair users with companion spaces and step-free access, updated in the rebuild, though published detail on exact numbers is limited, so supporters with access requirements should contact the club before the match. The table below matches a section to what you want from the day.
| Priority | Recommended Sections |
|---|---|
| Atmosphere | Curva Maratona, the home end |
| Tactical overview | Tribuna Granata, central rows |
| Close to pitch | Front rows of the lower tier |
| Calmer view | Distinti Granata side |
| Budget-friendly | The curve and the corners |
| Away fans | South-east corner by the Curva Primavera |
| Accessibility | Wheelchair-user bays with companion spaces (request at purchase) |
Turin sits in the Po valley at the foot of the Alps, with warm summers and cold winters that can bring fog and snow, so the weather at a match varies sharply across a Serie A season. The stands are partly covered by the roof added in the rebuild, keeping much of the crowd dry, though as a large oval bowl some sections, including the open corners, are more exposed to the wind and cold. For an autumn or winter fixture a warm and waterproof layer is essential given the Po valley cold, while late-summer and early-season matches are usually milder and comfortable.
Like other Serie A grounds, Olympic Grande Torino Stadium runs a firm bag policy with searches on entry, so the sensible approach is to travel light. Large bags and rucksacks are best left at your accommodation, since oversized bags are refused and there is no guarantee of a bag store. Standard prohibited items apply, including bottles, cans, outside alcohol, pyrotechnics and flares, and any object judged dangerous. Italian football also requires photo identification matching the ticket for many fixtures, so bring your identification. Check the club's matchday guidance for the current bag size limit before you travel, and arrive early to clear the search.
Turin is one of the great food and drink cities of Italy, the capital of Piedmont, famous for its cafes, its chocolate, its aperitivo culture and the wines of the surrounding region, so the matchday build-up is a real pleasure. The ground is out in Santa Rita, so the fuller choice is in the elegant centre, a short tram ride away.
Turin and the Piedmont region are a paradise for food and wine, from the historic cafes and the chocolate for which the city is renowned to the great wines of the Langhe such as Barolo and Barbaresco, and the rich local cuisine of agnolotti, vitello tonnato and the truffles of Alba. The elegant centre of Turin, with its arcades and grand piazzas, is full of cafes, restaurants and aperitivo bars, and a meal or an aperitivo before the tram out to the ground is one of the pleasures of a football trip to the city.
The centre of Turin, around the Piazza San Carlo, the Via Roma and the Quadrilatero, is the place to gather before a match, with its cafes, bars and restaurants, while the Santa Rita area around the ground is more residential with local spots. Because the stadium is out of the centre, most supporters build the day around the middle of the city and take the tram out. The city's famous aperitivo, a drink with generous snacks in the early evening, is a fine way to start a matchday.
Inside the stadium the concourses serve Italian matchday snacks and drinks at the usual standard. The real draw, though, is the food and drink of Turin in the centre, so for a fuller experience eat and drink in the city beforehand, where the cafes, restaurants and wine bars are among the best in Italy, then take the tram out to the ground for the match.
Torino use modern ticketing, so for most fixtures the ticket is issued digitally and scanned at the turnstile, and Italian rules mean the name on the ticket is often tied to the holder, with photo identification checked on entry for many matches. Load the ticket, charge your phone and bring your identification before you reach the entrance. Gates open ahead of kick-off to let the crowd filter in, and with a bag search and an identity check the entrances get busy in the last half hour. Aim to be at the ground in good time rather than joining the final rush, particularly for the Turin derby or a big Serie A fixture.
Leaving a ground out in the Santa Rita district means relying mainly on the tram back into the centre, which is quick and frequent.
The tram, lines 4 and 10, and the buses carry the crowd back towards Porta Nuova, Porta Susa and the centre of Turin after the match, running frequently to clear the crowd. The stops are busy immediately after a bigger fixture, so either move quickly with the first wave or give the crush a few minutes to clear before setting off. The good public transport means you are quickly back in the centre of the city for the evening.
Drivers who parked on the outskirts should take the tram or metro back to their car, avoiding the congested roads around the ground and the centre after a bigger match. The metro line 1 is an option for part of the journey, and the trams run late enough to carry the crowd back. Few drive right to the stadium given the restrictions, so the tram is the near-universal way out for most supporters.
The natural way to end a Torino matchday is to take the tram back into the elegant centre of Turin for the evening, for an aperitivo or a meal in one of the great food cities of Italy. The simplest way to beat any post-match crowd is to let the first wave clear before heading off, then enjoy the city. An evening over the wines and food of Piedmont in the historic centre is a fine end to a football trip.
The stadium opened in 1933 in the south of Turin, and over the following decades it carried several names, becoming known as the Stadio Comunale and later bearing the name of Vittorio Pozzo, the manager who led Italy to World Cup success in the 1930s. It hosted matches at the 1934 World Cup, the tournament Italy won, and for many years it was the shared home of both Turin clubs. It was comprehensively rebuilt for the 2006 Winter Olympics, held in Turin, serving as the venue for the opening and closing ceremonies, and reopened as a modern stadium while keeping its oval, athletics-track form.
The ground is bound up above all with the memory of the Grande Torino, the greatest side in the club's history and one of the finest teams Italy has ever produced, which won five league titles in a row in the 1940s and formed the backbone of the national team. On 4 May 1949 the entire team was lost when their aircraft crashed into the hill of Superga above Turin as it returned from a match in Lisbon, one of the darkest days in the history of the game. In 2016 the stadium was renamed the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino in their memory, and the club and its supporters honour the team each year at the basilica of Superga.
Torino returned to the ground in 2006 after years away, and it has been their home since, the base for a proud club with a fiercely loyal support, the granata faithful of the Curva Maratona. Torino also reached the final of the UEFA Cup in 1992, one of the highlights of the club's more recent history, bringing European nights to the city. The Turin derby against Juventus, the Derby della Mole, remains the fixture that fills the ground and stirs the deepest passions in the city.
The stadium's history, verified by contemporary records, is defined by the story of the Grande Torino and by the enduring passion of the Torino support. Its greatest and most solemn associations are with the team lost at Superga in 1949, remembered every year, while on the pitch the Turin derby against Juventus is the fixture that means the most, one of the fiercest in Italian football. The run to the 1992 UEFA Cup final brought famous European nights, and the 2006 Winter Olympics gave the ground a global stage for the ceremonies, giving the stadium a place in the wider story of sport as well as of Torino.
Olympic Grande Torino Stadium is a rebuilt, modern ground that the club rents from the city of Turin, so its future lies in continuing as the home of Torino FC, with periodic discussion about upgrading the facilities or the club's long-term stadium plans. The oval, athletics-track design is a legacy of the ground's Olympic and multi-purpose history, and any future work would look to improve the football experience while respecting the memory the ground carries. For now the stadium remains the settled home of Torino and a place of pilgrimage for the club's supporters, tied forever to the legend of the Grande Torino.
Olympic Grande Torino Stadium has accessible provision, including positions for wheelchair users with companion spaces and step-free access, updated in the rebuild for the 2006 Winter Olympics. The exact number and location of accessible spaces are not widely published, so supporters with access requirements should contact the club well before the match to confirm the available seating, arrange any companion ticket and check the route into the ground. The tram and bus links from the centre and the stations give reasonable access to a ground in a residential district, and the club can advise on the most suitable arrangement for a given fixture.
The fixtures that move Olympic Grande Torino Stadium tickets fastest are the Turin derby and the visits of the biggest Italian clubs. The derby against Juventus, the Derby della Mole, is the standout occasion, one of the fiercest in Italian football, and you can follow it on the Torino vs Juventus tickets page, with the visitors' own listings on the Juventus tickets page. The meeting with Inter is another big occasion, covered on the Torino vs Inter Milan tickets page and the Inter Milan tickets listings, alongside the visits of Milan, Napoli and Roma. The full home programme sits on the Torino tickets and Serie A tickets listings. The ground has also known European football, through the run to the 1992 final, part of the wider Europa League tickets story in its earlier form. Fixtures against mid-table sides are the most accessible and sometimes available closer to kick-off. Secondary-market prices move with demand, so treat any figure as indicative rather than fixed and buy early for the derby and the marquee matches.

Turin makes a rewarding and often underrated football trip, an elegant and historic city in the Piedmont region at the foot of the Alps, famous for its cafes, its chocolate, its royal architecture and the wines of the surrounding hills. Take the train to Turin Porta Nuova or Porta Susa, well connected to Milan and the rest of Italy, then the tram out to the ground. Base yourself in the elegant centre, and remember that Italian fixtures often require photo identification matching the ticket, that the ground is out in the Santa Rita district rather than the centre, and that the food and wine of Piedmont are a reason to travel in themselves. Turin pairs a match with one of the most refined city breaks in Italy.
With the region rich in things to see and taste, many supporters build a longer trip around the match. If you are lining up other fixtures, the football tickets hub, the wider football tournaments calendar and the venues tickets directory show what else is on. In and around Turin, the Mole Antonelliana and its cinema museum, the Egyptian Museum, the royal palaces and grand piazzas of the centre, the basilica of Superga on its hill and the wine country of the Langhe all reward a matchday trip to Piedmont.
Olympic Grande Torino Stadium holds 28,177, a mid-size ground by Serie A standards. It is an oval stadium with an athletics track, rebuilt for the 2006 Winter Olympics, so the seats are set a little further from the pitch than at a football-specific ground, but the Curva Maratona gives it a strong atmosphere on a matchday.
The ground is the home of Torino FC, the granata, playing in Serie A. Torino returned to the stadium in 2006 after it was rebuilt for the Winter Olympics, and it has been their home since. The ground is named the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino in memory of the great Torino side lost in the 1949 Superga disaster.
The ground is in the Santa Rita district, around three and a half kilometres from Porta Nuova station and the centre. Take the tram, line 4 from Porta Nuova or line 10 from Porta Susa, to the stops by the ground in around fifteen minutes, the easiest way in. Buses also serve the area. By car, park on the outskirts and use public transport in.
Parking near the ground is limited, as it sits in a residential district with restrictions on matchday. The better option is to park on the outskirts of Turin, where parking is more available, and take the tram or metro in. With the tram from Porta Nuova reaching the ground in around fifteen minutes, public transport is far easier than driving into the city.
Yes, Torino tickets are sold to the general public, though the Turin derby against Juventus and the visits of the biggest clubs sell out fast. Italian fixtures often require identification matching the ticket. A verified secondary marketplace is a realistic route for visitors, with seat detail shown before you pay.

The Grande Torino were the great Torino side of the 1940s, one of the finest teams Italy has produced, who won five league titles in a row and formed the backbone of the national team. On 4 May 1949 the entire team died when their aircraft crashed into the hill of Superga above Turin. The stadium is named in their memory, and they are honoured every year.
The Turin derby, the Derby della Mole, is the meeting of Torino and Juventus, the city's two clubs, one of the oldest and fiercest rivalries in Italian football. It is the fixture that means the most to the granata support and fills the ground, charged with the deep local rivalry between the two clubs of Turin.
Face-value Serie A prices at Torino are among the more affordable in the division, with the curve the cheapest areas. Resale prices depend on the opponent, with the Turin derby against Juventus and the visits of Inter, Milan and the other giants the most expensive. Secondary-market prices move with demand, so treat any figure as indicative rather than a promise.
The elegant centre of Turin is the best base, around the Piazza San Carlo and the Via Roma, with plenty of hotels and an easy tram out to the ground. Staying central puts you among the cafes, restaurants and aperitivo bars of one of the most refined cities in Italy, near Porta Nuova and Porta Susa for the trams to the stadium and for onward travel.
Torino issue tickets digitally for most fixtures, and Italian rules often tie the ticket to a named holder with photo identification checked on entry. Load the ticket, charge your phone and bring your identification before you arrive. Follow the delivery and entry instructions supplied with your order, as the requirements can vary by fixture.
The stadium was renamed the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino in 2016 in memory of the Grande Torino, the great Torino side of the 1940s lost in the 1949 Superga air disaster. It is one of the most moving dedications in football, honouring a team regarded as one of the finest ever, and reflecting the deep bond between the club and its supporters.
The ground is out in Santa Rita, so the attractions are in the centre and the region. The Mole Antonelliana and its cinema museum, the Egyptian Museum, the royal palaces and grand piazzas of central Turin, the basilica of Superga on its hill and the wine country of the Langhe all reward a matchday trip to Piedmont.
Yes. The stadium was rebuilt for the 2006 Winter Olympics held in Turin and served as the venue for the opening and closing ceremonies, which is why it carries the Olimpico name. It also hosted matches at the 1934 World Cup earlier in its history, giving it a place in the story of major tournaments as well as of Torino.
