Built specifically for the 1990 FIFA World Cup , the Stadio delle Alpi was home to Torino from 1990 to 2006 . Following the reconstruction carried out to make the stadium suitable to host the 2006 Winter Olympics opening ceremony and closing ceremony , Torino returned to the Stadio Comunale , renamed the Stadio Olimpico . The new capacity was now 27,958 seated , reduced by about 38,000 from the original in compliance with modern safety standards . In April 2016 , the Olimpico was renamed in honour of the '' Grande Torino ''
