Stadio Vanni Sanna (formerly known as Stadio Acquedotto) is a multi-use stadium in Sassari, Italy. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home ground of S.E.F. Torres 1903 and U.S.D. Latte Dolce. The stadium holds 12,000.
Its first name was "Torres stadium", changed in the seventies to "Acquedotto stadium". On 22 August 2001 it changed its name and was named after Giovanni Sanna, a footballer originally from Alghero who in his career played in Torres 1903 first as a player, then as a coach and sports director. In 2013, a restyling project of the municipal stadium of Sassari was presented, developed with red and blue passion by the Sassari architects Marco Tola and Stefano Sechi, and presented yesterday by the Associazione Memoria storico Torresina and the Sef Torres 1903 Foundation with great enthusiasm.[1] In 2020 an agreement was reached between the Torres club and the Municipality of Sassari to manage the stadium for the next 15 years and in 2021 a new turf was set up in order to improve and redevelop the structure.[2] [3]
The structure has always hosted the home games of S.E.F. Torres 1903, which currently plays in the Serie C championship. The stadium also hosts the matches of the Torres Calcio Femminile, winner of 7 Italian Championships, 7 Super Cups and 8 Italian Cups. From September 2021 the stadium will also be used again by U.S.D. Latte Dolce for home games.[4]
On 18 August 1987, the concert of the Spandau Ballet was held at the stadium, in 1989 the stadium hosted a concert by Vasco Rossi and on 28 August 1991 Fabrizio De André also performed at the stadium. In 1994, the plant hosted the concert of Sting, accompanied by Tazenda. In August 1995, after a couple of days there was the concert of Litfiba and that of Pino Daniele.
