The opportunity to invest in the new arena in Hunedoara was put up for auction by the National Investment Company in the summer of 2023, but a series of appeals, requests for postponement and additional clarifications have repeatedly hampered the outcome of the procedure.

If there are no other objections, after the evaluation of the documentation submitted in the technical-financial support of the offers (which lasts approximately 3-4 months), the report of the procedure will be issued and the winning company will be notified.

The mayor of Hunedoara, Dan Boboutanu, said, “From today, the procedure to establish the designer and the executor of the actual works begins. I hope that the result will be achieved within the deadline and, if there are any more objections, that their resolution will not take very long. We want and we really need a new stadium in Hunedoara, an arena that will serve the entire county.”
