Stadion Septemvri (bg|Стадион „Септември“, {{langx|en|'Septemvri Stadium') is a multi-purpose stadium in Sofia, Bulgaria. It is currently used mostly for football matches.
Septemvri Stadium was opened on 18 March 1958 with a friendly match against PFC Septemvri Sofia and PFC Levski Sofia. The stadium had 25,000 seats.
In 2011, Hristo Stoichkov announced that a new Septemvri Stadium would be built with 15,000 seats and would have the name The Crown of Septemvri.[1] [2] But the project was cancelled in 2013.
After the takeover of Septemvri by DIT Group in 2015, the new owners would fund a new stadium. In early 2017 it was announced that the new Septemvri Stadium building would start in summer 2017, if the team get the promotion for the Bulgarian First League.[3] In 2018, the project with 4,500 seats was run, expecting to be approved before the end of 2018.[4] As of 2023, no construction was started, while Septemvri Sofia are playing on Stadion Dragalevtsi or Vasil Levski National Stadium.
