Stadion Z'dežele


Stadion Z'dežele is a football stadium in Celje, Slovenia. It has been the home ground of NK Celje since 2003. Prior to July 2017, the stadium had been called Arena Petrol.
At the time of its opening, Arena Petrol was the most modern football stadium in Slovenia. It took its name from its principal sponsor, the Slovenian oil company Petrol. The stadium was opened on 9 September 2003 with a single stand that could accommodate 3,600 spectators. In the following years, three additional stands were built until the stadium was completed in 2008 with a capacity of 13,059 seats, of which 7,000 are covered. The stadium pitch is 105 metres long and 68 metres wide and covered with natural grass. The stadium also features a pitch heating system and floodlighting.
Between 2004 and 2007, the stadium served as the main venue for all competitive home matches of the Slovenia national football team, before being replaced by Ljudski vrt and later Stožice Stadium.
