About this venue
Rujevica is a modern, compact football stadium that brings you right up to the action—its stands are positioned close to the pitch, amplifying every tackle, chant, and goal. As the home of HNK Rijeka and part of the club’s training complex, it stands out for its practical, no-nonsense design and clearly organized seating sectors, and with a capacity of around 8,279 seats, it often feels louder and more intense than the numbers suggest.
Inside, the experience is all about atmosphere and sightlines: the short distance to the field keeps the view sharp from almost anywhere, while the tightly packed terraces help the sound carry cleanly and directly. Visitors typically appreciate the comfortable seating, straightforward wayfinding to each section, and a convenient selection of food and drink, making it easy to settle in before kickoff and unwind after the final whistle.
You’ll find the stadium at Rujevica 10, Rijeka, Croatia. The simplest approach is by car or taxi to the training-camp area, then follow the sector signage to the entrances; parking areas are located around the complex, and if you arrive by public transport, expect a short walk from the nearest stop to the gates.

About the city
Rijeka, a vibrant port on the Kvarner coast, is both a laid-back Mediterranean getaway and a city with a strong urban pulse, making it an excellent choice for top-tier concerts and major sporting spectacles. Visitors quickly find a great pre- and post-event atmosphere, and the city is well accustomed to guests arriving for big occasions. The mix of sea views, promenades, and city energy creates a distinctive event experience—whether you’re coming for an evening show or a high-stakes match.
A key advantage of Rijeka is its practical connectivity: city and suburban buses run by KD Autotrolej make it easy to move between the centre, neighbourhoods, and the main event areas, while taxis and alternative transport options are available on most days and evenings. If you arrive by train, Rijeka railway station sits close to the city core and the port, which simplifies onward travel to arenas and stadiums. For air travel, Rijeka Airport (RJK) on the island of Krk provides a road connection into the city, supported by straightforward access routes and parking for those driving their own vehicle.
When you have time beyond the event itself, Rijeka delivers a strong sightseeing bonus: stroll along Korzo, the city’s main promenade, explore the old town and its passages, or head down to the waterfront for a walk on Molo Longo. For panoramic views and a touch of history, climb up to Trsat and visit Trsat Castle, and for a short reset, look for calm spots along the Rječina river and its walkways. With diverse dining and accommodation options for different budgets, it’s easy to turn your tickets into a full-day city experience.
