Všešportový areál ("All Sports Complex") was a multi-purpose stadium in Košice, Slovakia. In its 21 years operating as a professional football ground, the Czechoslovakia national football team, then the independent Slovakia national football team, and local club FC VSS Košice played home matches there from 1976 to 1997.

History

[edit]

The Všešportový areál stadium opened on 29 February 1976 with a match against ZVL Žilina. The football stadium was demolished in 2011. The stadium was primarily used for football matches and held 30,312 spectators. It hosted six matches for the Czechoslovakia and four times for the independent Slovakia. VSS Košice, later renamed to ZŤS and 1. FC Košice, played there until 1997, moving to the renovated Štadión Lokomotívy. The complex also consisted of several football training grounds, basketball, handball and wrestling indoor arenas.[1]

New stadium
