History [ edit ]
Lecce supporters during a match 📉 against Roma, April 2012
The Via del mare was inaugurated on 11 September 1966, during a friendly between U.S. Lecce and 📉 Spartak Moscow. The stadium replaced the old Stadio Carlo Pranzo, which was named after a young soldier from Lecce killed 📉 in the First World War. On 2 October of that year, the first match between teams from Italy was played 📉 with Lecce beating local rivals Taranto 1–0. In 1967 Lecce played a friendly against famous Pelé's Santos here.
The initial capacity 📉 was 16,000 spectators. In 1976, the capacity was increased to 20,500 seats. With the historic first promotion of Lecce to 📉 Serie A in 1985 the stadium was almost completely rebuilt and capacity greatly increased to 55,000, which made it the 📉 6th stadium in Italy by capacity until 1990 FIFA World Cup.[5] Both the Curva Nord, now the terrace of the 📉 organized fan groups led by the Ultrà Lecce, and Curva Sud, where Gioventù are based were rebuilt. The tribuna and 📉 Distinti were also upgraded and then, to ensure that all seats were numbered, capacity was reduced to 40,670 seats.
