From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ion Moina Stadium is a multi-use stadium in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home ground of U Cluj. The stadium holds 28,000 people and was built in 1961.

The first football and athletics stadium in Cluj-Napoca was built between 1908 and 1911 and had a capacity of 1,500. The official inauguration in 1911 was done by organizing a game between a Cluj-Napoca team and Galatasaray Istanbul. It was the first game in Europe for Galatasaray, and the Cluj team won 8-1.

In 1961 new stands were built and the capacity of the stadium became 28,000. The new stands have an U-shaped appearance, as the name of the team that uses it.
