Stadiums
Since the 1950s, A.C. Gozzano's home stadium is Stadio Alfredo d'Albertas on 3 Via Madonna di Luzzara, Monterosso. Totally renovated and upgraded in 2019 after "cusiani" team's first promotion to Serie C, the stadium is named after the club's longest serving president and has a seating capacity of approx 1,500.As the stadium wasn't ready to use for the 2018–19 season, Gozzano used Stadio Silvio Piola on 5 Via Massaua, Vercelli as the venue for most part of its home games.
The club also used Stadio Silvio Piola of Novara for the opening match of 2018–19 Serie C.
After a couple more official matches played in Vercelli at the beginning of 2019–20 season, Gozzano headed back to "d'Albertas" stadium on September 15, 2019.
