Stadium
Stožice Stadium is an association football stadium located in Ljubljana, Slovenia. It was designed by Slovenian architects Jurij Sadar & Boštjan Vuga and is the biggest Slovenian stadium. Opened in August 2010, it is one of two stadiums in the city and lies in the Bežigrad district, north of the city centre. The stadium was named after the area in which it is located, and the change of the name is possible in the future due to sponsorship rights. Together with an indoor arena, it is a part of Športni park Stožice, which measures 24.694 square metres. The capacity of the stadium is 16,038 covered seats. NK Olimpija played its first match on the new stadium on 22 August 2010, in front of 7,000 spectators on a league match against FC Koper. The stadium is also used as one of the main venues for matches of the Slovenia national football team, as well as for many cultural events such as music concerts.
