Smederevo City Stadium (Serbian Cyrillic: Стадион Тврђава, Latin: Stadion Tvrđava) is a football stadium in Smederevo, Serbia. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home ground of FK Smederevo. The stadium has a seating capacity for 17,200 spectators.[1] The stadium is also known under the nickname Fortress Stadium.

History

The stadium got its current appearance from its most recent reconstruction in 2000. The venue hosted a 2009 European Cup rugby league match, when Serbia played Wales.[2] In late August 2012, an unidentified virus infected the grass at the stadium and forced FK Smederevo to play its fixtures outside of the stadium until the grass was changed.[3]
