Matija Gubec Stadium (Slovene: Stadion Matije Gubca) is a multi-purpose stadium in Krško, Slovenia. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home ground of local club Krško Posavje. It has a capacity of 1,470 seats.[1] During speedway competitions the standing area surrounding the track is opened for public and therefore the race can be viewed by more than 10,000 spectators.[2]
History
[edit]The stadium was built in 1946 and has hosted motorcycle speedway competitions since 1957.[3] It staged the final of the 1980 Speedway World Pairs Championship.[4]
When the stadium hosted the 2018 Speedway Grand Prix of Slovenia, the track was measured at 387.7 metres.[5]
From 2002[6] until 2019, the stadium was selected as a venue for one of the rounds of the Speedway Grand Prix, which is the sport's World Championship.[5][7] The Speedway Grand Prix of Slovenia was held 14 times in total at the stadium.
