Since 1994 it is the home of Calcio Padova, which now (season 2010-11) plays in Serie B. It has a total capacity of 32,336.

Due to strict Italian laws about security in football matches, for football only the stadium capacity is reduced to 17,500 places.

It also played temporary host to Treviso for their first few matches in Serie A in the 2005-06 season, as their ground, Stadio Omobono Tenni, was deemed unfit; and to Cittadella, when playing her first two Serie B championships in the 2000-01 and 2001-02 seasons.

By 2010/'11 season will be used also for the home matches of the second football team of the city, San Paolo Padova, playing in Serie D.
