Udinese celebrate 10th stadium anniversary against Inter

Udinese’s home game against Inter today marks the 10th anniversary of the Bianconeri’s Bluenergy Stadium.

Today’s Serie A match between Udinese and Inter in Udine marks the 10th anniversary of the Bluenergy Stadium, which was inaugurated on January 17, 2016 and has since become a symbol of Udinese’s identity and long-term vision.

The first game was played against Juventus in January 2016 and since then, the Friulani have played 208 matches across all competitions at Bluenergy Stadium, with an average attendance of over 20,000 fans (20,567) over the years. The all-time attendance record dates back to January 29, 2017, when 26,008 spectators attended Udinese’s 2–1 victory over Milan.

“Over the last ten years, Bluenergy Stadium has also hosted numerous major events. In addition to high-profile friendlies between Udinese and West Ham, Athletic Club and Chelsea, the stadium has welcomed the Italian national football team on five occasions, the Italian rugby national team twice — set to return in 2026 — four matches of the 2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, including the final between Spain and Germany, and the 2025 UEFA Super Cup, won by Paris Saint-Germain against Tottenham, the most important sporting event ever held in Friuli-Venezia Giulia.

Since 2024, Udinese’s stadium has also hosted major concerts, welcoming artists such as Zucchero and Negramaro and preparing to host leading names from the Italian music scene, including Vasco Rossi, Eros Ramazzotti, and Zucchero.

The Bluenergy Stadium is one of Europe’s most advanced and environmentally responsible sports infrastructures and allowed Udinese to win the prestigious De Sanctis Award for Sustainability this past November.

The roof of Bluenergy Stadium features the first solar park ever installed in an Italian stadium, which led to the creation of Italian football’s first Renewable Energy Community. This initiative, together with the elimination of plastic in hospitality areas, the introduction of smoke-free zones, and the widespread presence of recycling points, helps make Udinese’s stadium the greenest in Italy.
