Minyor Pernik (1954-present) |
Stadion Minyor (Bulgarian: Стадион „Миньор“, English: 'Minyor Stadium', lit. ''Miner Stadium''), nicknamed The Stadium of Peace is a multi-purpose stadium in Pernik, Bulgaria. It is used for football matches and is the home ground of the local football club Minyor Pernik. The stadium has a capacity of 8,000 spectators.[1] It was officially inaugurated on 30 May 1954.[2]
The stadium initially held a capacity of 20,000 spectators, but in August 2009, the owners of the club decided to rebuild the whole western stand, and the capacity was reduced to 8,000 spectators to obtain a license from the Bulgarian Football Union.
