Fazanerija City Stadium, Football stadium in Murska Sobota, Slovenia.
Fazanerija City Stadium is a football ground located within the Fazanerija park in Murska Sobota, Slovenia. It has a natural grass pitch and covered stands on several sides of the field.
The ground was established in the 1930s to give the region a proper sports facility, and it has been renovated several times since then. Work carried out in the second half of the 20th century brought the stands and pitch up to a more modern standard.
The stadium is home to NŠ Mura, the club founded in 2012 after the dissolution of ND Mura 05. It also hosts Slovenia's women's national team, which played France in a World Cup qualifier on 21 September 2021 and Latvia in a European Championship qualifier on 31 May 2024, won 6–0.
The stadium is inside the Fazanerija park and easy to reach on foot from the center of Murska Sobota. Getting there before the start of a match gives you time to find a good spot in the stands.
The stadium was built on a ten-hectare site northwest of the town park, together with an open-air swimming pool. Its opening on 28 June 1936 was financed largely by donations, raffles, dances and weekly tea parties; the Drava Banovina contributed only 497 dinars of the roughly 110,000-dinar cost.
