Stožice Sports Park, multi-use sports complex in Ljubljana
Stožice Sports Park is a large modern complex in Ljubljana that combines multiple sports facilities and event spaces. The site features a stadium with seating for over sixteen thousand for football matches, an indoor arena accommodating around twelve thousand for basketball and handball, along with training pitches and warm-up halls serving different sports.
The sports park opened in 2010 and was designed by architects Sadar and Vuga. Since its creation, the complex has become a major sporting venue in Slovenia, regularly hosting qualification matches for international tournaments such as World Cup qualifiers and European Championships.
The sports park serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors come together for football matches, basketball games, and concerts. It reflects the city's strong connection to sports and entertainment as part of daily life.
The park is located about 3 kilometers (1.9 miles) from the city center and is easily accessible by bus or tram. Parking is available near the entrance, including dedicated spaces for people with disabilities, and the facilities are designed for easy access and navigation.
The complex includes a large concert hall that has hosted performances by internationally known artists including José Carreras, Leonard Cohen, and Sting. The same arena can be quickly adapted between sports events and concert productions, showing the venue's versatility.
