Croatia’s HNK Šibenik unveils plans for new €50m stadium

June 5 – Croatia’s HNK Šibenik have unveiled plans for the construction on a new stadium. Next season Šibenik will return to the top tier of Croatian football, after winning Prva NL by one point ahead of Zrinski Jurjevac.

The new stadiun will be built on the site of Stadium Šubićevac in Šibenik and will have a capacity of 8,000 seats with all stands will be covered.

The project was presented to the public club owner Željko Karajica, architect Angela Vlaić, Sibenik mayor Željko Burić and politician Hrvoje Zekanović.

Karajica said that the stadium will be one of the most modern in Croatia and will meet all the requirements for holding international matches

It develops according to the wishes of the club president. Thank you to those involved for making a huge effort to create the conceptual solution.
