Stadio Sergio Lanfranchi, previously known as Stadio XXV Aprile, is a sports stadium dedicated to rugby union, located in the city of Parma in the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy. It replaced the original Stadio Sergio Lanfranchi which was demolished in July 2008.
It is a 5,000 seat arena which hosts Crociati Parma Rugby FC[1] and Gran Parma Rugby[2] rugby union teams. It also hosts the Parma Panthers American football team.[3] In 2012 it also became the home stadium of the Zebre Parma[4] franchise which replaced Aironi in the Pro12[5] league and Heineken Cup.[6]
In January 2015, the Stadio XXV Aprile was renamed as the Stadio Sergio Lanfranchi, the previous stadium of that name having been demolished.[7]
