Stadium developments continue in Rijeka and Opatija

Architect Siniša Zdjelar has provided updates regarding the long-awaited development of the new Kantrida stadium in Rijeka. Zdjelar noted that while previous design iterations were developed as far as the main project stage, documentation issues between NK Rijeka and the City of Rijeka halted progress, leading the club to move its operations to Rujevic in 2015. New conceptual designs were initiated in 2018 and 2019 to address the site's requirements.

In a separate development, the recently reconstructed Opatija stadium has officially opened following a two-year renovation project. The project, which involved an investment of 6.5 million euros, included upgrades to the pitch, stands, floodlights, and interior facilities. Local visitors have praised the new facilities, noting the improved conditions for young athletes and the aesthetic integration of the stadium with the coastal landscape.
