The Sant'Elia stadium, regardless of what we call it (a name has been decided, but Cagliari has a ten-year agreement with Unipol), is one of the most slippery issues in the Cagliari scenario.

What the fan—the person who will have to keep the project alive thanks to their own money and their passion for Cagliari—understands is that a decision hasn't been made yet. And there's no sign of significant progress between Cagliari and the City Council toward a solution. Regardless of responsibilities, funding, blame, and buck-passing.

Today, in Italy, if we're talking about the 2032 European Championship—the reason we'll need to build state-of-the-art sports facilities of varying standards—there are only two stadiums ready for use: the Juventus Stadium in Turin, owned by the Elkann Agnelli family's team; and the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, owned by Sport e Salute, the company of the Ministry of Economy. Bari, Naples, Genoa, and Florence need to be rebuilt; Milan is a mystery.

We're navigating by sight, Cagliari is a replicable model.
