The Partizana Stadium ( Serbian - Cyrillic Стадион Партизана ; "Partizans Stadium", formerly the Jugoslovenske narodne armije or JNA Stadium ; "Stadium of the Yugoslav People's Army "), also known as the FK Partizan Stadium , is the football stadium of the Belgrade Belgrade Football Club . It has an athletics facility and with 32,710 seats, including 1,204 VIP seats and 216 press seats, is the second largest football stadium in Serbia and one of the largest in Southeast Europe .
The Partizan Stadium is also known as Hram fudbala , which means football temple in German . In addition to the Rajko Mitić Stadium (formerly: Red Star Stadium ), it is the second venue for the home games of the Serbian national soccer team in Belgrade. The venue for city rivals Red Star is just a kilometer southeast of the Partizana Stadium.
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 .
