Dan Păltinișanu Stadium (1963)

About

The Dan Păltinișanu Stadium (Romanian: Stadionul Dan Păltinișanu), named after footballer Dan Păltinișanu, was a multi-purpose stadium in Timișoara, Romania. Before getting demolished in 2025 it had a seating capacity of 32,972, the second-largest in Romania. Operated until 2022, the stadium was used mostly for football matches by the local team, FC Politehnica Timișoara/SSU Politehnica Timișoara. It also hosted a few matches of the football national team. A new successor with 32,000 seats is being worked on to replace it on the site.
