Stadio Comunale Giovanni Celeste

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stadio Comunale Giovanni Celeste was a multi-use stadium in Messina, Italy. It was used mostly for football matches and hosted the home matches of F.C. Messina Peloro. The stadium was able to hold 11,900 people. It was closed in 2004 when Stadio San Filippo opened.

On June 5, 1982, the stadium hosted a Euro 84 qualifier between Malta and Iceland because Malta's own stadium in Gzira was not up to scratch. Malta won the game 2-1 in front of a crowd of 1,271 spectators.
