Stadionul CUG, Football stadium in Gheorgheni, Cluj-Napoca, Romania
Stadionul CUG is a football stadium in the Gheorgheni district of Cluj-Napoca, on Strada Alexandru Vaida Voevod. It has a natural grass pitch of 19,200 square metres and a one-storey administrative building. The stadium covers 24,983 square metres and holds 3,000 spectators.
The stadium was built in the 1970s as part of a heavy machinery factory complex. Over time, the facility adapted to changing economic conditions and shifted toward training activities.
The name CUG comes from Combinatul de Utilaj Greu, the Heavy Machinery Factory that owned the sports base. Today the ground hosts CFR Cluj's youth squads and trainings, and in the past it served CFR II Cluj and some CFR Cluj friendlies.
The stadium holds 3,000 spectators and is used mostly for CFR Cluj's youth squads matches and trainings. It lies in the Gheorgheni neighbourhood, at Strada Alexandru Vaida Voevod, on a 24,983 square metre site that also contains a one-storey administrative building.
In 2007, the construction of Iulius Mall reduced the sports complex to 24,983 square meters, preserving only the main football field.
