STRABAG Commissioned for Renovation, Expansion of Stadium in Croatia

STRABAG d.o.o., the Croatian subsidiary of the European construction group STRABAG SE, has signed a contract for the renovation and expansion of the Kranjčevićeva Stadium in Zagreb, Croatia, marking the start of one of the capital’s most significant sports infrastructure projects.

Commissioned by the city of Zagreb, the project — with a contract volume of $38-million euros — will deliver a modern football stadium with a significant increase in capacity from 5,350 to 11,163 seats, all of which will be fully covered. Construction work recently started and is expected to take about 18 months, with completion scheduled for the end of 2026.

The new stadium will fully comply with UEFA Category 4 standards, allowing it to host top-tier football matches from the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League. The contract includes a full-scale reconstruction of the existing stadium, aligning with the highest construction and safety standards. The sports facility will offer a heated hybrid pitch, press rooms and all the amenities of a modern stadium. It will also feature energy-efficient solutions, full accessibility for people with disabilities and state-of-the-art multimedia and security systems.

The stadium will not only serve as a premier sports venue for GNK Dinamo Zagreb, the Croatian National Team and other clubs, but it will also bring long-term benefits to the sports and broader social infrastructure of the city of Zagreb.
