Stadio Omobono Tenni
Stadio Omobono Tenni (Italian pronunciation: [ˈstaːdjo omoˈbɔːno 'tɛnni]) is a football stadium in Treviso, Italy. It is currently the home of Treviso FBC 1993. The stadium was built in 1933 and holds 10,001. After the inauguration in 1933, a friendly match between Treviso FBC and Udinese was held, which was followed by a friendly against the Italy National Team. In the 1940s and 1950s the capacity of the stadium was of 12,000 seats. HistoryThe stadium was named after Omobono Tenni, a motorcycle road racer who lived in Treviso and fatally died in 1948 in Bern, Switzerland.[1] On 24 January 1960, the stadium played host to a rugby league international between Italy and Australia. In front of a small crowd of just 3,105 rather curious fans, the Kangaroos, playing the 37th and last game of their 1959–60 Kangaroo tour of Great Britain and France, defeated the home side 67–22 to complete a two-game sweep of the Italians to end the Kangaroo Tour on a high note.[2] The stadium was also temporary home to A.S. Cittadella for at least the 2008–09 Serie B season, until their own stadium, Stadio Pier Cesare Tombolato, was renovated to meet Serie B stadiums criteria. Stadium distance from:
