Partizan Stadium (Serbian: Стадион Партизана / Stadion Partizana), also known as Dove Cot (Serbian: Голубарник / Golubarnik) is the football and track-and-field stadium in Belgrade owned by Partizan. It carried the name JNA Stadium for a long time and was the site of Youth Day parade. Even today, the majority of football fans in all countries of former Yugoslavia call it by its old name. Partizan fans, the Grobari, call it "Fudbalski Hram" (English: Temple of Football). It was officially opened on October 9, 1949, with the match between Yugoslavia and France. Partizan stadium had a 55,000 capacity before the new UEFA security regulations came in effect. It was renovated during 1998, and now has a capacity for 32,710 spectators. There are 30 rows of seats and 30 entry and exit gates for spectators. The stands have a height of 21 m and span 236 m in length (north-south) and 150 m in width (east-west). The playing field measures 105 x 70 m, and is illuminated at 1,200 lux (Philips).
