history
The Maksimir was opened on May 5, 1912 and bears the name of the Maksimir district of the same name . The stadium capacity is currently 35,123 spectators. It is the home ground of Dinamo Zagreb and serves as the main venue for the Croatian national soccer team next to the Poljud stadium in Split . The Maksimir was next to the Red Star Stadium in Belgrade the venue for the 1976 European Football Championship . In addition to sporting events, concerts and other cultural events are also held here.
During the match between Dinamo Zagreb and FK Red Star Belgrade on May 13, 1990, there were clashes between fans of the home club and the Yugoslav Federal Police in the stands and on the field. These scenes found their way into the living rooms of the Yugoslav population of all republics via Yugoslav television. In retrospect, the events surrounding this game are viewed as a beacon of the Yugoslav wars that began a year later .
Renovation 2011
In order to meet the requirements of UEFA , the stadium was partially renovated in 2011. Here one was soil heating installed, the toilets refurbished and stands complete with seats fitted. The athletics facility was completely removed and replaced with blue artificial turf . The press room also underwent a complete overhaul and it was a new VIP - Loge furnished. The costs amounted to an estimated 6.7 million euros , which is equivalent to around 50 million HRK .
future
The city, as the owner, plans to renovate the Maksimir Stadium. The previously completely uncovered Maksimir is to receive grandstand roofs. The measures are around 37 million euro cost and start early 2020th The tiers in the north and west are being renovated and roofed over. This work should account for half the cost. The stadium renovation has been planned several times in recent years, but it has not been implemented. In 2016, plans for a new building by the Dinamo Zagreb association were even announced. The announcement is intended to put an end to speculation about a new venue. The modernization of the largest stand in the country is necessary and the city hopes that Dinamo , the Croatian football association HNS and the state will contribute to the costs.
At the beginning of November 2019, the city of Zagreb and Club Dinamo agreed to build a new stadium, based on FIFA and UEFA standards, on the bottom of Maksimir . At the annual general meeting, Dinamo's chief executive, Mirko Barišić, announced that he would be moving out of the Maksimir stadium and playing for home games in other stadiums for several years. For the national games one plans with the stadium Kranjčevićeva of city rivals NK Zagreb . The new NK Osijek stadium with 12,000 seats, which should be ready in mid-2020, is to be used for international games . This would be a long journey for the Zagreb fans, as Osijek is a three-hour drive away, on the Serbian border. If the city's planning for the construction project does not progress quickly, the club would build a new home ground for Dinamo and the national team on its own. On condition that the stadium is returned to Dinamo ownership. Until 1992 the Maksimir was owned by Dinamo Zagreb.
