TheZimbru Stadium (Romanian:Stadionul Zimbru) is afootball-specific stadium inChișinău,Moldova, completed in May 2006 with a capacity of 10,104 people, meeting all norms required byUEFA andFIFA for national and international matches.
Starting from June 2016, theMoldovan Football Federation took over the administration of Zimbru Stadium for a period of 10 years. Through this decision, the FMF assumed responsibility towards international football structures to modernize the stadium, ensuring that it meets all the necessary conditions for organizing matches in the international football tournament preliminaries held in Chișinău.[2]
The construction of the sports complex on Dacia Boulevard began in 2004. The project for the future facility was developed by the staff of the Ceproserving Institute. The majority of the work was carried out by Inconex-Com. Other companies, includingMoldovan ones, also participated in the construction that lasted for 27 months. During the construction process, numerous problems arose that were not easily resolved. However, the Zimbru Stadium was still built. Foreign specialists actively participated in the construction and development of the stadium in Chișinău. The grass field on the pitch was laid by the well-known Swiss company Matomatic. The projectors for illuminating the arena were made at the German Siteco factory, and Ukrainian specialists were involved in the production of video boards.[3]
The stadium was inaugurated on 20 May 2006, in a match betweenZimbru Chișinău andKrylia Sovetov Samara, which ended in a 1–1 draw.
The VIP box is reserved for 250 people.[citation needed] Sports journalists have 44 places at their disposal.[citation needed] The arena meets all the requirements for holding official international matches.[citation needed]
For the sound insulation of the Zimbru Arena, it was covered with special soundproof panels produced inSlovenia along the entire perimeter.
