Stadion Rujevica, Football stadium in Rijeka, Croatia.
Stadion Rujevica is a football venue in Rijeka with a main natural grass pitch surrounded by training areas. The ground holds around 8,000 spectators across different sections, with dedicated areas separating home and away supporters.
Construction of the training centre began on 15 September 2014, financed by the owners of HNK Rijeka, and the stadium was licensed on 28 July 2015. It opened on 2 August 2015 with a 3–1 league win over NK Lokomotiva, Marin Leovac scoring the first goal. The north stand was added between 11 May and 21 July 2017, raising capacity from 6,039 to 8,279.
The local supporters gather in different sections of the stadium, with sector Z in the west containing 2,775 seats and a dedicated VIP area.
The ground sits in the Rujevica area, part of the club's training camp with four additional pitches, so matchday access is separate from the youth academy fields. The west stand is fully covered, while the east and south stands are open to the weather. Away supporters are placed in Sector J in the south, the smallest block with 412 seats.
The north stand was added between 11 May and 21 July 2017, raising capacity from 6,039 to 8,279 so the ground met UEFA's 8,000-seat minimum for Champions League and Europa League group stages. The project was drawn up by the Rijeka office ZDL arhitekti, with Siniša Zdjelar and Antonija Plavotić as authors.
