History
The stadium had a capacity of 15,000 people, making it the 18th largest stadium in Romania, however the largest crowd ever recorded was of 28,000 people for the 1979–80 European Champions' Cup match between FC Argeş and Nottingham Forest. It was originally named "Stadionul 1 Mai" but changed simply to "Stadionul Municipal" immediately after the 1989 Romanian Revolution. The stadium's name was changed to Nicolae Dobrin in 2002.[1] The stadium was demolished in the summer of 2023.[2]
Construction of the new stadium was scheduled to begin on 19 January 2026. The National Investment Company (CNI) officially notified the consortium of Construcții Erbașu S.A. and Terra Gaz Construct SRL, the stadium's contractor, of the commencement date.[3][4]
