The Lia Manoliu National Arena is one of the most important, modern stadiums in Romania. Due to its characteristics, it has been classified by UEFA in the 4th Category ("Elite"), the highest. On May 9, 2012, it hosted the UEFA Europa League final. The project involved demolishing the existing stadium and building a new arena with a capacity of more than 60,000 spectators, with the possibility of reaching 63,000. 

The stadium features state-of-the-art audio and video systems and a convertible-style transparent sheet roof that can be opened or closed in 15 minutes. 

The structure is 23 m high and is divided into 6 levels. The 3 underground levels include spaces for athletes, coaches, referees and judges, administrative spaces, press rooms, conference rooms and parking spaces for 2,100 vehicles. The upper levels include 42 VIP skyboxes, an entrance lounge, restaurants, and restrooms. The total width of the main grandstand is approximately 55m.
