Stadion Rujevica (official name: Stadion HNK Rijeka, English: "HNK Rijeka Stadium") is a stadium in the city of Rijeka. The stadium is commonly referred to as Rujevica after its location. From August 2015, the stadium is a temporary home ground for HNK Rijeka during construction of the new Stadion Kantrida. The stadium is part of the training camp used by the club's youth academy, which includes four additional fields. Once the new Kantrida is built, the stadium will be used as the club's training ground.

Construction

The construction of the training centre commenced on 15 September 2014 and was financed by the owners of HNK Rijeka. On 28 July 2015, the stadium was issued a licence from the Croatian football authorities. It was officially opened on 2 August 2015 with HNK Rijeka's 3–1 win against NK Lokomotiva. Marin Leovac scored the first goal.

Capacity per sector

Three sectors contribute to the total seating capacity of 6,134:

  • Sector I (east): 2,852
  • Sector Z (west): 2,882
  • Sector J (south): 400 (away supporters' sector)
  • Future plans

    In January and November 2016, HNK Rijeka President Damir Mišković hinted that the northern stand may be built in order to comply with UEFA requirements for clubs competing in the group stages of the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League to have a stadium with the minimum capacity of 8,000.
