Starting with the 2026/2027 season, FC Lugano opens an exciting new chapter in its history by moving to the AIL Arena, a state-of-the-art sports venue located right in the heart of Lugano, and the flagship facility of the city’s Sports and Events Center (PSE), a project approved by Lugano’s citizens in the referendum held last November 28, 2021. A true landmark in the club’s journey of identity and growth in the Cornaredo district, home to the Bianconeri for 75 years.
Consegnato dall’impresa generale HRS Real Estate SA alla Città di Lugano il 27 febbraio 2026, l’AIL Arena vede l’FC Lugano quale locatario esclusivo di uno stadio all’avanguardia, capace di garantire un’esperienza unica per tifosi e partner. Più di 8’000 posti la capienza della struttura, per adempiere alle richieste dell’UEFA in tema di competizioni internazionali (omologazione UEFA Cat.4).
One of the crown jewels of the new FC Lugano facility are its two Hospitality areas (Business and Premium Lounge) offering sleek, modern spaces to welcome partners and sponsors with signature hospitality and a touch of class—elevating the stadium into a "boutique" venue designed to deliver an unforgettable experience.
Digital signage and audio quality are state-of-the-art, with top-tier technology throughout—made possible by the generosity and financial commitment of owner Joe Mansueto. Innovative screens and LED technology deliver an immersive experience—one-of-a-kind in Switzerland—while a 360-degree sound system and dynamic lighting effects will transform every home game into an unmissable show.
More than just a stadium, the AIL Arena will be a hub for the entire community—a symbol of identity, belonging, and FC Lugano’s deep roots in the social and cultural fabric of the entire Canton of Ticino.
The choice of AIL (Aziende Industriali di Lugano) as Naming Rights Partner represents far more than a commercial agreement: it is the natural evolution of a strong and lasting collaboration built on mutual trust and respect. It marks the culmination of a long-standing business relationship that has grown into something of a tradition.
