Stadio Renzo Barbera is the home of Palermo FC and their enthusiastic supportersAt the heart of Palermo's submission to the FIGC is a full redevelopment plan for the historic Stadio Renzo Barbera. This progress has been fuelled by collaboration between Palermo FC, the Municipality of Palermo, the Sicilian Regional Government, and owner City Football Group (CFG).

If chosen, a modernised Renzo Barbera will bring elite international football back to Sicily for the first time since the 1990 World Cup. Out of these 13 candidate cities, the FIGC will put forward five to host matches at the tournament in six years' time.
