“What a beautiful coincidence – it’s 60 years since the inauguration of the former “Nicolae Dobrin” stadium! The old demolished stadium, originally called “1 Mai”, then “Municipal”, and, since 2002, “Nicolae Dobrin”, was built in 1964!

Today we achieve a beautiful victory in memory of our genius from Pitesti: the dream of the people of Pitesti to have an ultra-performing stadium is coming true! Dobrin’s name will live on in one of the most modern sports arenas in Romania, and I am proud of marking this success. A success of the whole city!

I thank Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu for his support! He kept his promise: the exceptional investment puts Pitești on a short list of cities in Romania that have such a modern and diversified sports infrastructure!

It is also a great satisfaction that, after 2 years, even the colleagues from the City Council, who did not approve of the project, are today proud of it and promote it intensively!

We are building Dobrin’s Arena! We are building a sports city!” – Cristian Gentea, mayor of Pitesti municipality

“It is the biggest investment that Pitestiul has benefited from since 1990! It is financially supported in a proportion of over 98% by the Romanian state, so we do not have a pressure on the local budget, but only advantages for the city!

It was in a good watch!

On September 30, 2022, we submitted to the National Investment Company the feasibility study and the local council decision regarding the investment objective, then we followed the stages of our project – from obtaining financing, to demolishing the stadium and bringing to UAT some areas of land that we needed them!

I succeeded!” – Lucrețiu Tudor, public administrator of Pitesti municipality

The total value of the investment, through the National Investment Company, amounts to 100 million euros, of which the financing from the local budget is 1.7%.
