Overview
The Pio XI multi-sport complex is located on an 18-acre piece of land in Rome only a few hundred yards from Vatican City[3] as Vatican City is not large enough to house sports fields of its own.[4] It has a capacity of 500 spectators and is equipped with artificial turf and floodlights.[5][6] The field is known for having a clear view of Saint Peter's Basilica.[7]
History
The Campo Pio XI stadium is part of one of several sports complexes built, funded, and maintained by the Italian Knights of Columbus.[8] The fraternal organization began building free recreational facilities for Roman Catholic youth in 1920 after Pope Benedict XV asked the Order to do so.[9] The field was consecrated and blessed by Cardinal Pietro Gasparri, Vatican Secretary of State, in May 1926.[8]
Serie A club AS Roma hosts youth tournaments at the stadium.[10]
On 10 June 2018, during Vatican Family Day, the stadium hosted the first Vatican women's football match following that year's Vatican Super Cup.[11] Shortly thereafter it became home to the nascent Vatican City women's national football team.[12]
International matches
After playing its first three full-internationals at the Stadio Pio XII, the stadium hosted the Vatican City national football team for the first time on 10 May 2014.[4]
