History
editThe stadium was opened on 24 September 1946. It underwent full renovation in 2011. The first official match on the renovated stadium was on 21 August 2011 between Sloboda and Partizan. In front of 12,000 supporters, Sloboda recorded their first ever win over Partizan in that match, with a goal from Slavko Marić in the 93rd minute.[1][2] On 6 September 2011, the Serbia U21s played against Faroe Islands in their 2013 UEFA European U21 Championship qualifying match and won 5–1.[3][4]
In July 2013, it was announced that the stadium will have floodlights for the first time in the club's history, and that the first game under the floodlights would be 2 months later, against Partizan on 14 September 2013.[5][6][7] On 19 November 2013, the Serbia national team played the "Media Selection team" in a revival match. The national team won the game 2–0.[8][9][10]
On 25 May 2016, the stadium was the host to a friendly match between Serbia and Cyprus. It was Slavoljub Muslin's first game in charge as the head coach of the national team. Serbia won the game 2–1 with the help of Aleksandar Mitrović and Dušan Tadić goals.[11][12][13]
On 12 August 2021, the name of the stadium was officially changed to Radomir Antić Stadium in honour of Radomir Antić.[14]
