Stadio Nereo Rocco is a football stadium in Trieste, Italy. Opened in 1992, it is the home of Triestina, named after the club's former player and manager Nereo Rocco. The stadium is located in the Valmaura district on the southern outskirts of the city, close to the club's former venue Stadio Giuseppe Grezar.
Originally built with a capacity of 26,000, renovations done in 2018 before the venue hosted matches of the 2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship reduced the capacity to 21,000.[1]
Cagliari played their final home games of the 2011–12 Serie A season at the ground, due to restoration of their Stadio Sant'Elia.[2]
