Požarevac City Stadium (Serbian: Градски стадион у Пожаревцу / Gradski stadion u Požarevcu), also nicknamed Vašarište, is a multi-purpose stadium in Požarevac, Serbia.[1] It is mainly used for football matches and hosts the home ground of FK Mladi Radnik of the Serbian League West. The stadium has a total capacity of 3,500.

History

[edit]

The stadium was built in 1935[2] and is part of the Požarevac Sports Centre grounds.[3]

For decades, the stadium had only one stand with a roof that stretched across a few rows in the central area. After Mladi Radnik gained promotion to the Serbian SuperLiga in 2009, the stadium was renovated prior to the 2009–10 season. A new stand was made and seating was installed in both areas,[4] which expanded the capacity to 3,500.[5]

On 9 August 2022, the stadium was renamed in honour of Mihajlo Andrejević.[6]
