Officially Il Centro Tecnico Federale di Coverciano, is the central training ground and technical headquarters of the Italian Football Federation,[1][2] [3][4] located in the Coverciano quartiere of Florence, Italy.

History

FIGC purchased land in Coverciano in 1952 for the purpose of building a new centre where training for both players and technical staff would take place. It was officially opened in November 1958. Prior to its construction, the FIGC's technical sector (settore tecnico) was headquartered in Rome with the other departments.[5]

Facilities

The Coverciano is the primary training ground for all Italy national football teams from the U-15 age group and above (including women's), as well as the Italian Armed Forces' representative football team. Occasionally it has hosted foreign teams visiting Italy.[6]

Facilities include four standard football pitches, multipurpose gym, swimming pool and two tennis courts. In addition, there is a library, hotel, conference hall and restaurant located on site. The Hotel Coverciano can accommodate over 100 people; the venue is thus often used by foreign touring teams and by Italian clubs at the higher levels who are based in the Florence area.[7]
