Stožice Sports Park (Slovene: Športni park Stožice) is a multi-use sports complex in Ljubljana, Slovenia, that hosts all departments of Olimpija Ljubljana sports club and other Ljubljana-based clubs including volleyball club ACH Volley. The complex is located in Bežigrad district north of the city centre right next to the highway bypass.
The sports complex was opened on 10 August 2010, when Arena Stožice hosted a basketball match between Slovenia and Spain, which was won by Spain 79–72 after overtime. One day later Stožice Stadium was opened on a football match between Slovenia and Australia, won by Slovenia 2–0. Both the arena and the stadium are scheduled to be one of the main venues of Slovenian national teams in all sports except ice hockey for which the arena is not suitable and could only host if ice cooling machines would be implemented. The whole complex is scheduled to be in the centre of Ljubljana public and cultural life.
Designed by Sadar Vuga d.o.o. architects, it includes Stožice Stadium, Arena Stožice and a shopping centre (still under construction), covered by the artificial landscape of the recreational park and is the result of the public-private partnership between the City of Ljubljana and the Grep d.o.o. development company.
