Stadium
The former club Football Club Messina Peloro have played their home matches in the new Stadio Comunale San Filippo since the 2004-05 to 2008-09 season. Since the season 2009-10 plays here the current team of A.C.Rinascita Messina.
The capacity of this stadium is 37,895 seats. The name take place from Messina fraction where it is placed, but a couple of petitions aim to rename it after the former Messina manager Franco Scoglio or the Messina Saint Hannibal Mary Di Francia.
The old stadium, the 11,000 seater Stadio Comunale Giovanni Celeste, is now used by S.S.D. Città di Messina, the second team of the city.
