Gradski Stadium, Football stadium in Ruse, Bulgaria.
Gradski Stadium in Ruse is a multi-purpose venue used for football, athletics and concerts, with 13,000 seats and a tartan running track. The main stand has navy-blue plastic seats installed in 2013, and the pitch is surrounded by a running track. Adjacent are the Yalta sports hall and a training football pitch.
The sources do not record a 1910 opening; the documented milestones are later. In 2012 the athletics track was rebuilt with a tartan surface at a cost of 1.2 million leva, funded by the Ministry of Physical Education and Sports and Ruse Municipality. In February 2013 navy-blue plastic seats were fitted to the central sectors, and in December 2013 work began on a new VIP stand roof worth 250,000 leva. After Dunav Ruse reached the First League in 2016, the pitch was relaid and floodlights installed, and on 24 April 2017 the Bulgarian Football Union licensed the stadium.
The stadium hosts two local football clubs and has shaped the city's sports life for decades. Home matches here are an important part of local entertainment and bring the community together.
The stadium is located centrally and is easily accessible from multiple parts of the city. Visitors will find spacious access routes and good orientation for events held here.
In 2017, the facility underwent a complete renovation with new drainage systems, irrigation equipment, and professional floodlighting. This overhaul transformed the stadium into a modern sports venue with the latest technical systems.
