The reconstruction of the Kranjčevićeva Stadium in Zagreb has faced significant delays. Following a contract amendment between the City of Zagreb and the construction firm Strabag, the project completion date has been pushed from the end of 2025 to February 1, 2027.

The total project value has increased to approximately 47.69 million euros, including VAT. The amendment is attributed to the necessity for additional works, services, or goods not included in the original procurement. The stadium is intended to meet UEFA Category 4 standards and will feature 11,163 covered seats and ecological elements such as vertical gardens.

These delays impact NK Dinamo Zagreb, which planned to use the venue as a temporary home during the reconstruction of the Maksimir Stadium, creating planning challenges for the 2026/27 season. Recent reports confirm that Zagreb is extending the timeline for the new stadium construction into early 2027.
