Stadionul Jiul

Stadionul Jiul, Football stadium in Petroșani, Romania.

Stadionul Jiul is a football ground in Petroșani with a grass pitch, an athletics track and covered stands on two sides plus an official tribune. Its capacity was cut from 30,000 to 15,500 when plastic seats replaced the old benches in 2005. Four training pitches belong to the sports complex.

The original venue from 1922 was destroyed by fire in 1975 during a match against FC Politehnica Iași. The current facility opened in 1982 and has served as the team's home ground ever since.

The venue is named after Petre Libardi, the captain who led the team to the Romanian Cup final in 1973-1974. Local fans recognize this name as part of their club's most memorable moments.

The stadium sits in central Petroșani, on the site of the old ground that burned in 1975; the former location is now occupied by Hotel Petroșani and Central Park Carol Schreter. The ground has an athletics track around the pitch and four training fields belonging to the sports complex. Access is via rebuilt approach paths, and the VIP area was modernized in the 2026 renovation.

The old ground on this site dated from 1922 and had a single stand; on 25 May 1975 that wooden stand caught fire in the 14th minute of a match with FC Politehnica Iași, forcing the club to build anew. The present stadium was for years the only one in Romania with two side stands and the official stand fully roofed. Its electronic scoreboard was already old when the 2005 work covered the terraces in plastic seats and cut capacity from 30,000 to 15,500.
