Matija Gubec Stadium, Multi-purpose stadium in Krško, Slovenia.
Matija Gubec Stadium is a multi-purpose sports facility in Krško with a natural grass playing surface and capacity for several thousand spectators. The venue accommodates both seated and standing areas along with special box seating.
The stadium was founded in 1946 and quickly became a center for motorsport events when speedway racing began in 1957. This combination shaped the sports identity of the region for decades.
The ground is home to Krško Posavje football club and to the AMD Krško speedway club. Speedway racing has taken place here since 1957, and the stadium's name honours Matija Gubec, the 16th-century leader of the Croatian-Slovene peasant revolt.
The stadium has 1,470 covered seats plus 8,000 standing places, about 10,000 spectators in all. For speedway meetings the standing area around the track is opened to the public, so the racing can be watched from the perimeter. The track measured 387.7 metres when the 2018 Speedway Grand Prix of Slovenia was held here.
