Štadión Antona Malatinského is a football stadium in Trnava, Slovakia.
It is used for football matches of local football club Spartak Trnava. It has been named after former footballer and manager Anton Malatinský since 1998.
Stadium recently underwent a complex reconstruction. The project consisted not only of complete reconstruction of the stadium, but also building the adjacent shopping mall named City Arena. The whole construction cost of the project is €79 million, out of which €28 million is the cost of stadium reconstruction. Slovak government provided €13 million of the cost.
Spartak Trnava officially announced the intention on 25 November 2011, and after that preparation works began immediately. Three out of four stands (including old floodlight) were completely demolished between April and August 2013. Construction permit was granted in August 2013 and cornerstone of the stadium was placed in September 2013. Spartak Trnava continued playing at the stadium even during the reconstruction, with only West stand in service. In May 2015, the last of the four stands was demolished and subsequently rebuilt.
Opening ceremony of the new stadium took place on 22 August 2015. In the opening match, Spartak Trnava lost to Brazilian club Atlético Paranaense 0–2.
Štadión Antona Malatinského stadium has hosted nine friendly and six competitive matches of the Slovakia national football team.
