National Stadium in Bucharest

The national stadium in Bucharest is the pride of the city and all Romanian football. This is the largest sports arena in Romania. The 2012 Europa League final was held here. The stadium hosts home matches of the football club “Ocelulu” and the national team of Romania.

The stadium was opened in 2011. It was built to replace the old Lia Manoliu Arena. The stadium has an oval shape like most new football stadiums. The arena is equipped with a sliding roof, however, and in the open version almost all stands are closed by it. The capacity of the stadium is more than 55 thousand people. It can rightly be called one of the most modern and advanced in the world.
