The Partizan Stadium (Serbian: Стадион Партизанa / Stadion Partizana) is a football and track-and-field stadium in Autokomanda, municipality of Savski Venac, Belgrade, Serbia, which has a seating capacity of 32,710. Situated on the Topčider Hill, at Humska 1 street it is a home field of Partizan Belgrade. Also, it was the home of Partizan's main rival Red Star Belgrade from 1959 to 1963, when they moved to the Marakana Stadium.
It carried the name JNA Stadium (Serbian: Стадион ЈНА (Стадион Југословенске народне армије) / Stadion JNA (Stadion Jugoslovenske narodne armije)) for a long time and was the site of Youth Day parade. Even today, the majority of football fans in all countries of the former SFR Yugoslavia call it by its old name. Partizan fans, the Grobari, call it also Fudbalski hram (English: The Temple of Football). The stadium has four stands: the south, north, west and east. Before conversion to an all-seater stadium, the ground had a capacity of 50,000 people.
There were plans to replace the current stadium with a new one. Swiss companies Mob Lab and Marazzi-Paul presented a project of a 38,000 seated stadium with commercial contents. The construction was supposed to start in 2006 but it was postponed and later cancelled.
