Nestled beneath Golovec Hill, the Celje stadium is one of the most modern football and sports facilities in Slovenia.

Home of NK Celje since 2003, it took its final form in February 2008, when the last stand was built and it is part of a large sports park. The stadium capacity is 13.059 seats and the grass surface is constructed according to the most modern standards, similar to that of the football pitch at the Olympic Stadium in Munich. The stadium is close to the center of the city of Celje and is easy to reach.
