The City of Zagreb and the Zagreb Society of Architects (DAZ) are conducting an international architecture competition for Maksimir Stadium and Svetice Sports and Recreation Centre.
The competition was launched on March 20th 2026, following a landmark agreement between the City of Zagreb and the Croatian Government. This €224 million joint investment aims to replace ageing infrastructure with a world-class, integrated sports precinct. The organisers invite visionary designs for a 35,000-seat stadium and a 'City of Sport' that honours the site’s historic character while meeting 21st-century athletic needs.
