Stadionul Nicolae Dobrin, Municipal football stadium in Pitești, Romania.
Stadionul Nicolae Dobrin is a football stadium in Pitești, Romania, with a grass field flanked by concrete stands on both long sides. The main grandstand has a metal roof, while the opposite side remains open to the sky.
The stadium opened in 1964 under the name Stadionul 1 Mai, a common type of name during that period in Romania. It was renamed in 2003 to honor Nicolae Dobrin, a footballer who brought the city wider recognition through his years at FC Argeș.
The name of the ground honors Nicolae Dobrin, a footballer who spent most of his career at FC Argeș and is still remembered fondly across the city. On match days, fans fill the stands with flags and scarves, making the space feel very much alive.
Parking is available around the ground, and food and drink vendors set up outside on match days. Getting there a little early gives you time to find your section without rushing through the crowds.
In 1979, the ground hosted Nottingham Forest for a European Cup match at a time when the English club had just won the competition. Facing the reigning European champions on home soil made the game one of the most talked-about nights in local football memory.
