From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hristo Botev Stadium is a sports venue in the city of Plovdiv, Bulgaria. It is the home ground of PFC Botev Plovdiv and has a capacity of 25,000 spectators (22,000 seats). It was opened in 1903.

The stadium was originally named The College and is still known by this name among the fans. The reason for this is that in the early 1900s the pitch was owned by the Catholic College.

The stadium was renovated between 1959 and 1961.
