The stadium roof is designed to resemble the surrounding Friulian hills.
It is one of the few stadiums in Italy to be privately owned by the football club rather than the municipality.
The project to redevelop the venue was one of the first successful examples of 'stadium sustainability' in Italy.
The stadium was originally built in 1976 following the Friuli earthquake to help revitalize the region.
During the 1990 FIFA World Cup, the stadium hosted three matches for Group E.
The pitch is oriented along a north-south axis to optimize natural light exposure.
Bluenergy Stadium, formerly known as Stadio Friuli, serves as the home ground for the Serie A club Udinese Calcio. The structure underwent a comprehensive renovation between 2013 and 2016, which involved removing the athletics track and enclosing the pitch within the stands for an intimate viewing experience. It features a modern, wave-shaped roof design inspired by local geological formations. The stadium has a capacity of approximately 25,000 to 30,000 seats. In addition to professional football, the venue hosts large-scale concerts and cultural events throughout the year. It incorporates sustainable energy solutions and is managed under a naming rights agreement with the energy provider Bluenergy. The facility includes the Udinese Store and various hospitality zones designed for corporate and event use. It is located on the northwestern outskirts of Udine.
