Great photos. Looking very nice.

With the overall construction of the Stadium, if im not being too nosy, has it so far been considered a success in terms of OH&S? In other words have all the workers involved gone home to their families free of injury (zdravi zivi)?

They shouldn't have missed the chance of boxes in the new stand though. Although for public owned stadium it really isn't that much important, it is still the only stadium in the country that can host high profile events. Perhaps in the future.

The most famous club from Skopje and Macedonia thats FC Vardar Skopje but also Rabotnicki Skopje and Macedonian national team. Vardar is formerly known for winning the Yugoslav National League and Yugoslav Cup, also the leader with titles in Macedonian football championship and cup and has already played many times in UEFA Cup/Europa League group matches.

Filip MKD
April 5th, 2011, 07:18 PM
I don't know how much, but as you can see they are very steep:D.Reason for that is because the plan for the stadium was very old but it wasn't realized for a long time.There was just one tribune finished with very steep stands,so they had to make other 3 tribunes like the old one(with steep stands).However this isn't a big problem...

Who said that it's a problem??? On the contrary! Especially if there's only one tier. Spectators have a much better view if the stand is steep.
The problem is when the stands are not steep enough and the upper rows are a mile away from the pitch.

One bad example is the stadium in Bordeaux (and many more...):

As for the capacity I think it will be just less than 40.000 which is more than enough.

The works on the field and the track will start in autumn, September-October, and planned to end in March or April.

After that, the works on the facade and illumination will start.

Also is supposed 2 bridges across river Vardar to be built, which will connect the stadium with a multi-storey garage.

Also the surroundings will be done in this period of time...

Full completion is planned with the beginning of 2013.

First official match on the arena is going to be in about one month, against the Republic of Ireland.

Expecting about 4-5000 irish fans, and should make for a festive atmosphere.

No, Romania is included in both regions: Balkan Peninsula (because of Dobrudja) and Southeastern Europe (because of the other regions). See the map of Romania. End of off-topic.

learn geography; it is true Romania is often included, for example even Slovenia and Turkey are (sometimes Italy too because of Trieste), but the country IS located mostly OUTSIDE the Balkan Peninsula.

only 2 counties from 41 are in the Balkans: Tulcea and Constanta! a small portion; 900,000 people, even less than 5% of country's total population

dont confuse the things, we respect the great Balkan people, but we also want to keep our origins. i dont like people like you who think only their opinion is good, while the geographers say totally different!



so, probably the best stadium of the Balkans is in Athens, but the one from Skopje is also great!

Good Luck to Rabotnicki in the Europa League. They have signed six new players so far including former national team player Vlatko Grozdanoski and U21 captain Goran Bogdanovic. Also they have signed Vladica Brdarovski who was best young player of the half season along with three quality players. I really hope they do well they have always done great for Macedonia in the past by bringing big teams like Bolton and Liverpool to Skopje. GO RABOTNICKI and also good luck to Metalurg and Renova in their matches.

Yeah, I don't think it will be done in time for the friendly vs Dinamo and from what I've read it doesn't look like the match will be happening. But it will be done for sure in time for the European Cup matches. Hopefully, Vardar and Rabotnicki make it to the Macedonian Cup final so the first game at the stadium is a real competitive match.
