The Stadio Centro d'Italia – Manlio Scopigno is a football stadium in Rieti, Italy. It is the home stadium of F.C. Rieti and has a seating capacity of 10,163.
Built by Rieti's municipal government, it entered into operation in 1991 and was ultimately inaugurated in 1997, with a match between the Under-21 national teams of Italy and England.
The name of the stadium (Italian: Centro d'Italia, which means "Center of Italy") recalls the tradition that indicates Rieti as the geographical center of the Italian peninsula; since 2005 it is also named after Manlio Scopigno,[1] a leading player in FC Rieti's golden era in Serie B.
