About Olympic Hockey Santa Giulia
Olympic Hockey in Milan
The Olympic ice hockey tournaments of the XXV Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026 had one of their main homes in the Milano Santa Giulia Ice Hockey Arena (also known as PalaItalia), at via Bonfadini 148, in the Santa Giulia district of Milan (Municipality 4, City of Milan, Lombardy), near Milano Rogoredo.
A New Arena for the Games
The facility was built specifically for the Olympics, with a capacity of approximately 16,000 spectators. It hosted the men's and women's ice hockey tournament matches, including the final stages for the medal awards. For the city, it represents one of the main infrastructural legacies of the Games.
Tournaments and Finals
The women's tournament began on February 5 and concluded on February 19, with the finals for 3rd-4th place and for gold on the same day. The men's tournament started on February 11 and ended on February 22, with the bronze medal final on the 21st and the gold medal final on the 22nd. In Milan, men's hockey had two venues: the Santa Giulia Arena (PalaItalia) and the mobile arena within the Rho exhibition center.
The Paralympics Too
After the Olympic Games, the arena continued its sporting vocation by also hosting para ice hockey matches as part of the Winter Paralympic Games in March 2026.
