history

Work on the stadium began shortly after the Second World War in 1948 and a year later the first game was played at the sports facility. The Yugoslav national football team competed on October 9, 1949 in qualifying for the 1950 World Cup against France . The game ended in a 1-1 draw. The official inauguration of the facility did not take place until December 22, 1951. Initially it was named after the Yugoslav People's Army . It originally had 55,000 spectators. The stadium served the former socialist Yugoslavia and the leadership of President Tito from the mid-1950s to 1987, every 25 May as the venue for the parade on Youth Day . Rival Red Star Belgrade stayed at the Partizana Stadium for four seasons until the new Red Star Stadium was completed in 1963. In 1957, the first electronic scoreboard was installed, which was in operation until 2012. In 1998 the stadium was rebuilt in order to adapt it to the UEFA safety regulations and comfort standards.

modification

In its current condition, the stadium is partially dilapidated. The club management promised the expansion of the stadium complex several times, but has not yet been implemented. A Swiss architectural firm estimated several million euros for the renovation and expansion . In addition to the new stadium for 36,000 spectators, a multiplex cinema , a 5-star hotel , an underground shopping center , a parking garage , nine tennis courts and around 400 apartments are to be built on an area of ​​12.5 hectares .
