28 Forgotten Stadium Grounds Around The World Left Abandoned

16. Stadionul Municipal – Drobeta-Turnu Severin, Romania

Stadionul Municipal in Drobeta-Turnu Severin, Romania, was once a thriving venue for local football, boasting a capacity of 20,054. Built to serve the needs of multiple clubs and sports events, the stadium was home to various teams, including FC Drobeta and FC U Craiova 1948, which played some of their home games there. The stadium was known for its passionate crowds, especially when major Romanian league matches were held, drawing fans from across the region. However, in the years leading up to its closure in 2019, the stadium began to experience neglect. The infrastructure became outdated, and maintenance efforts dwindled due to financial constraints. With local teams struggling to attract large crowds and secure funding, the stadium eventually fell into disuse. Today, it remains abandoned, with its once-lush playing field overgrown and the stands crumbling. No official redevelopment plans have been announced, and the stadium’s future remains uncertain. Despite this, local fans and preservationists have advocated for its restoration, hoping to see the stadium revived as a community sports venue rather than left to decay.
