Zebre Rugby have confirmed that their friendly match against Glasgow Warriors on Saturday, August 31, will now take place at the Lanfranchi Stadium in Parma.

The match was originally scheduled to be held at Mirabello Stadium in Reggio Emilia but will now be played in their home stadium the Italian URC side have announced.

The club say the decision to change the venue was made after careful consideration of the conditions at Mirabello Stadium, which is undergoing major redevelopment.

It was determined that the facility did not meet the necessary standards for hosting the event. Zebre stated that the move to their home ground in Parma would ensure a better experience for both teams, staff, and fans.

Kick-off is at 20:30 local time.

Fans who purchased tickets for the match at Mirabello Stadium will receive refund information via email from Ciaotickets.
