The stadium was constructed in less than 120 days during the summer of 2017.
It was originally named Sardegna Arena before being rebranded as Unipol Domus in 2021.
The stadium's modular components were largely repurposed from the previous temporary stadium, Is Arenas.
It is built on land immediately adjacent to the footprint of the derelict Stadio Sant'Elia.
The pitch is natural grass equipped with advanced underground heating and drainage systems.
The stadium capacity is approximately 16,000 spectators.
Unipol Domus is a football stadium in Cagliari, Sardinia, currently serving as the home venue for Cagliari Calcio. The structure was built as a temporary facility following the closure and subsequent demolition of the historic Stadio Sant'Elia. It features a modular design with four grandstands that were constructed rapidly to ensure the team could continue playing in Cagliari. The stadium is located near the site of the former Sant'Elia stadium on the city's southeastern coast. As of June 2026, the venue remains the primary site for Serie A matches in the region. It is designed to prioritize spectator proximity to the pitch, creating an intense atmosphere for home games. The facility includes VIP areas, media zones, and dedicated sectors for visiting supporters.
