Cagliari - Is ArenasCagliari’s Stadio Is Arenas has been granted permission to be modified this summer and the club could return to the venue for next season.

Last term the club were mired in problems in regards to the stadium, even forfeiting their home match to Roma due to safety concerns as well as playing several home matches away from Sardinia.

The club’s president Massimo Cellino was even arrested by authorities due to an investigation into the stadium, and was charged with embezzlement and a myriad of other charges.

Authorities have now agreed to allow renovation to take place on the Is Arenas, and if certain areas can be improved, the club will be allowed to return to the stadium. The improvements needed are on the fans’ access areas to the ground and providing space for disabled fans.

In 2012/13 Cagliari played numerous home matches at neutral stadiums in either Trieste or Parma, before returning to play behind closed doors at the Is Arenas.
