Fiera Milano Rho
Fiera Milano Rho, opened in 2005, is a fairground complex designed by architect Massimiliano Fuksas, located in an area on the border between the towns of Rho and Pero replacing the former grounds which were developed into the new CityLife district of Milan. The Fiera Milano Rho location is mainly used for industrial trade shows.
The Fiera Milano Rho complex was announced as the new speed skating venue of the 2026 Winter Olympics on 19 April 2023 after initial plans to put a roof over Ice Rink Piné had been rejected by the IOC. The event will be hosted at Halls 13 and 15, from which a single space will be created for speed skating, with seating for 6,500. The venue also will host the secondary ice hockey rink,{{cite news|last=Rowbottom|first=MIke|date=19 April 2023|title=Milan The Unanimous Choice for Speed Skating at 2026 Winter Olympics|url=https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1136100/milan-cortina-2026-speed-skating-venue|website=Inside the Games|access-date=19 April 2023}}{{cite news|last=Ridley|first=Bob|date=19 April 2023|title=Fiera Milano Rho To Be New Home for Speed Skating at 2026 Winter Olympics|url=https://www.thestadiumbusiness.com/2023/04/19/fiera-milano-rho-to-be-new-home-for-speed-skating-at-2026-winter-olympics/|website=The Stadium Business|access-date=19 April 2023}} and the complex additionally serve as the International Broadcasting Centre and the Main Press Centre for the Games.
