Karađorđe Stadium

Karađorđe Stadium (Serbian: "Stadion Karađorđe", Стадион Карађорђе), formerly known as the Stadium of Vojvodina (Serbian: "Stadion Vojvodine", Стадион Војводине), is a multi-use stadium in Novi Sad, Serbia. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home ground of FK Vojvodina. The stadium holds 15,500 people.

Name

Formerly, it was known as the "City Stadium" (serbian: Градски стадион or Gradski stadion). In 2007, the stadium has been renamed to "Stadium Karađorđe" (named after Karađorđe ("Black George"), the leader of the First Serbian uprising). However, "Stadium Karađorđe" was in fact older name of the stadium that was used from its foundation in 1924 until the end of the Second World War.
