Stadion u Kranjčevićevoj ulici (Kranjčevićeva Street Stadium), known also as Stadion Concordije between 1921 and 1945, is a multi-purpose stadium located in Trešnjevka neighourhood, in Croatian capital city of Zagreb. It is mainly used for football matches and is the home ground of Druga HNL side NK Zagreb. First opened in 1921, it has undergone throughout many renovations and facelifts with its current layout dating back to 1987 Summer Universiade renovation. Croatian national football team played only once at Kranjčevićeva street in a 3-0 friendly game win against South Korea team on 13 March 1996. The stadium with its reduced capacity from 2008 can hold 8,850 people, which makes it the second biggest stadium in Zagreb, behind Stadion Maksimir.

The stadium at what was then called Tratinska cesta (English: Tratinska road) began construction in 1910s and was completed in 1921. At the time of its completion it was the biggest stadium in Zagreb and was owned by Concordia, one of the three prominent Zagreb-based football clubs in the interwar period (the other two being Građanski and HAŠK). In 1931 the first floodlit match held in Zagreb was played at the stadium, in which Zagreb XI beat Real Madrid 2–1, with two goals from Ico Hitrec and a consolation goal for Madrid scored by Eugenio.
