Bluenergy Stadium’s 10th anniversary as Udinese host Inter could lift home morale — consider backing Udinese on a +1 handicap or a home/draw double chance. Strong average attendances and a historic home-record suggest a tight match; cautious bettors might prefer Under 3.5 goals or market options that protect against an Inter win.
Bluenergy Stadium Turns 10 as Udinese Host Inter
Today’s Serie A fixture between Udinese and Inter in Udine coincides with the 10th anniversary of Bluenergy Stadium, inaugurated on January 17, 2016. The milestone adds emotional weight to the matchday, with the venue having become central to Udinese’s identity and long-term planning.
Stadium History and Key Facts
Since its opening, Bluenergy Stadium has hosted 208 matches across all competitions. The home crowd has averaged 20,567 spectators, while the record attendance — 26,008 fans — was set on January 29, 2017 during Udinese’s 2–1 victory over Milan. The first official match at the ground took place in January 2016 against Juventus.
Major Sporting Events Hosted
Bluenergy Stadium has staged high-profile friendlies and international fixtures, including five appearances by the Italian national football team and two matches for the Italian rugby side, which is scheduled to return in 2026. The venue also held four matches of the 2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, including the final between Spain and Germany, and hosted the 2025 UEFA Super Cup between Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham.
Concerts and Cultural Use
From 2024 the stadium expanded its calendar to major concerts, welcoming big names from the Italian music scene and preparing further shows featuring Vasco Rossi, Eros Ramazzotti and Zucchero. This diversification has increased the stadium’s profile beyond pure sport.
Sustainability Credentials
Bluenergy Stadium is positioned as one of Europe’s most advanced and environmentally responsible sports infrastructures. The facility earned the De Sanctis Award for Sustainability in November and features the first solar park installed on an Italian stadium roof. That installation enabled the creation of Italian football’s first Renewable Energy Community. Other green measures include the elimination of single-use plastic in hospitality areas, smoke-free zones and extensive recycling points, contributing to its reputation as one of Italy’s greenest arenas.
Matchday and Betting Implications
The anniversary atmosphere and strong home support can give Udinese a psychological lift, making a compact, defensive display likelier. For bettors, that suggests value in markets that protect against an outright Inter win: home/draw double chance, Udinese +1 handicap, or Under 3.5 goals. Expect a tight contest where crowd momentum could be decisive in set-piece or late-match moments.
