The Arena is the home pitch for Milan's third football team, Brera, as well as being the host venue for an annual athletics meeting – the Notturna di Milano.[2] Until 2011, the Arena was the home ground of Amatori Rugby Milano, a rugby union club founded in 1927 that won 18 Italian Championships.
The Arena Civica opened on 18 August 1807, and later it was used for football activities, mainly by Internazionale: initially only for the biggest matches and afterwards on a stable basis, from 1930 until 10 December 1958, when the Nerazzurri faced Lyon for the Fairs Cup. It was used on 15 May 1910 in the Italy national football team's first official match, a 6–2 victory over France.
