Smederevo City Stadium (sr|Градски стадион Смедерево / Gradski stadion Smederevo),[1] colloquially known as the Stadion kraj Stare železare, 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 got its current appearance from its most recent reconstruction in 2000. 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.
