Slovenian top-league football club Bravo is slowly bidding farewell to the stadium where it has been based since its inception. Sooner or later, it is expected to return to Šiška, but for now, it is not yet known when this will happen. The ŽAK stadium, which has been significantly affected by the passage of time, will be demolished, and a new sports center will be built in its place. The latter will primarily be dedicated to athletics, but there will also be space for footballers, including Bravo, who will temporarily be based at the Stožice Stadium, where Olimpija also plays its home matches.
For now, it is still unknown when the construction works will commence, ideally towards the end of the current year, or in a slightly worse scenario, at the beginning of 2025. Also unknown is when the construction will be completed. However, the newspaper Dnevnik revealed that the construction costs have drastically increased since 2016 when the idea of the new center first came to life. At that time, the costs were estimated at only 14 million euros, but now – according to Dnevnik – they are expected to exceed 94 million euros!
As explained by The City Municipality of Ljubljana (MOL), the project evolved both in terms of content and consequently financially during its preparation. Initially, only the renovation and upgrade of the stadium were planned, but in the end, they opted for a complete renovation. The future home of Bravo will accommodate 4777 spectators, and a basement floor with parking spaces is also planned under the auxiliary athletics stadium.
