Stadionul Ilie Oană is an all-seater football stadium in Ploiești, Romania. It is the current home ground of Petrolul Ploiești. It was inaugurated in September 2011 and has a current capacity of 15,073 spectators.[1]
The construction is built on the site of the former Ilie Oană Stadium, which was completed in 1937, and demolished in 2009-2010.[2]
Ilie Oană can host UEFA Europa League semifinals and UEFA Champions League group matches. It is ranked as a UEFA Category 4 stadium.[3]
The stadium is named after Ilie Oană, a legendary player and coach of Petrolul Ploiești.
Milestones
- The first match to be played at the stadium was an exhibition game between a team of former Petrolul Ploiești players, the generation which won the Romanian Cup in 1995, and a selection of former Romanian internationals, amongst which Gheorghe Hagi, Gheorghe Popescu, Viorel Moldovan, Ovidiu Stângă and Daniel Prodan. The former internationals won the match 4–3.[4] The first goal scored on this stadium belonged to Cristian Zmoleanu.
- Petrolul's first competitive match at the stadium was a Liga I game against Dinamo București on 25 September 2011, which ended 5–1 for the Bucharest team. Dinamo player Cosmin Moți scored the first goal of the game and thus the first official goal at new Ilie Oană Stadium.
- The Romania national football team played its first official match at the Ilie Oană on March 29, 2015, against Faroe Islands.
- As of summer of 2016, Petrolul Ploiești had played 84 Liga I games and 6 Cupa României games at the stadium.
