The City Arena - Štadión Antona Malatinského is a football stadium in the Slovak city of Trnava . The football club Spartak Trnava, founded in 1923, and the Slovak national football team play in the stadium, which was opened in 1921 . The stadium is located near the historic old town center, surrounded by the streets Kollárova , Športová , Koniarekova and Dolné bašty . From 2013 to 2015, the old stadium was converted into a modern football arena with 19,200 seats, previously it had 18,448 seats.
history
In 1998 the stadium was renamed in honor of the footballer and national coach Anton Malatinský , who died in 1992 . In 2006 the stadium was extensively renovated. Spartak Trnava therefore played temporarily in Senec . In May 2011, the Sport7.sk portal named the facility the second most beautiful stadium in Slovakia after the Štadión pod Dubňom in Žilina .
New building
The city of Trnava and Investor City Arena signed the contract to renovate the stadium in November 2012. A modern arena with 19,000 seats should be built by the end of 2014 for around 15 million euros. The € 76 million building project includes the City Arena shopping center , a two-story underground car park with 1,150 spaces, 4,150 square meters of office space and a multiplex cinema with 600 spaces.
In April 2013, the demolition of three of the four grandstands began, only the longitudinal grandstand in the west remained. The foundation stone was laid in September 2013. The stadium was supplemented with three two-story and covered stands. The Austrian company Strabag carried out the construction work . Around two years after the foundation stone was laid, the City Arena - Štadión Antona Malatinského , the largest and most modern stadium in the country, was inaugurated on August 22, 2015 with a show program and the friendly match between Spartak Trnava and the Brazilian team of Athletico Paranaense (0: 2) . Before that there was an old gentleman game with Spartak against Ajax Amsterdam from the Netherlands .
