Stadio Angelo Massimino (previously known as Stadio Cibali) is a multi-use stadium in Catania, Italy. It is currently used mostly for football matches and the home of Calcio Catania. The stadium was built in 1937 and holds 23,420. It was named on 2002 after former Catania chairman Angelo Massimino.

Catania was banned from playing any Serie A Matches inside the stadium since 14th February 2007. This is due to the violence that occurred on February 2nd 2007 outside the stadium in the clash against Palermo which resulted in the death of a Police Officer. The ban ran until 30th June 2007 [1].
