Maksimir Stadium revitalization controversy in Croatia

Overview

The revitalization project for the Maksimir Stadium and SRC Svetice zone in Zagreb has entered a period of legal and public scrutiny. Following the selection of an architectural proposal by Milan-based studio VG 13, the Croatian Ministry of Economy filed an official appeal with the State Commission for the Supervision of Public Procurement (DKOM).

The proposed design, which includes approximately 35,000 covered seats but features open corners, has faced significant criticism. While Zagreb Deputy Mayor Luka Korlaet defended the concept as an effort to honor the original 1950s stadium design, public sentiment remains largely negative, with one survey indicating nearly 80 percent of participants were dissatisfied. The project currently faces delays as the procurement process remains stalled due to multiple formal complaints.
