Lithuania National Stadium

Lithuania National Stadium is a new multi-use stadium in Vilnius, Lithuania, that is under construction since 1987. It will be used mostly for football matches and will host the home matches of the Lithuania national football team. The stadium will have a capacity of 25,000 people. It would replace the use of S. Darius and S. Girėnas Stadium, Žalgiris Stadium, and LFF Stadium. The construction was temporarily abandoned since March 2010. The minister of interior, Dailis Alfonsas Barakauskas, has said that it was expected to be finished by 2016 to a cost around LTL 260 million.[1]

Stadium construction was revitalized in early 2016. It was planned to be completed between 2019 and 2020 at the cost of about EUR 80–100 million.[2] However, the construction was not continued and a new competition for the building of the stadium was announced in September 2016.[3][4]
