Smederevo City Stadium (Serbian: Градски Стадион Смедерево / Gradski Stadion Smederevo),[1] colloquially known as the Stadion kraj Stare železare or Tvrđava, is a football stadium in Smederevo, Serbia. It is used mostly for football matches and is the home of FK Smederevo 1924. The stadium has a seating capacity for 17,200 spectators.

History

The stadium was opened back in 1930, and it underwent a series of expansions during the 1990-s, when the local club FK Sartid Smederevo played in the top-tier national league. The last major reconstruction happened in 2000, and since then it has its current appearance. The venue hosted a 2009 European Cup rugby league match, when Serbia played Wales.

In late August 2012, an unidentified virus infected the grass at the stadium and forced FK Smederevo to play its fixtures outside of the stadium until the grass was changed.[2]

International matches

FR Yugoslavia national football team played here once.
