About

Stadion Rođeni (English: Rođeni Stadium), previously known as Stadion Vrapčići (English: Vrapčići Stadium), is a football stadium in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, which has been used by FK Velež Mostar since 1995. It is located in the northeastern part of the city, namely the Vrapčići suburb, and is principal stadium and the home-ground of FK Velež Mostar football club. The stadium takes its name from FK Velež's and its supporters' nickname "Rođeni" (English: "own", as in "our own"; literally "born"), and was decided after an online poll in 2017.

At present stage of development, it can receive up to 7,000 supporters in attendance. The lack of funds and a slow process of country's recovery from the war, as well as complicated political ambient in the city and the country as a whole, all of which have influenced the scope and the tempo of stadium development.
