Stadion Septemvri (Bulgarian: Стадион „Септември“, English: 'Septemvri Stadium') is a multi-purpose stadium in Sofia, Bulgaria. It is currently used mostly for football matches.

Septemvri Stadium was opened on 18 March 1958 with a friendly match against PFC Septemvri Sofia and PFC Levski Sofia. The stadium had 25,000 seats.

In 2011, Hristo Stoichkov announced that a new Septemvri Stadium would be built with 15,000 seats and would have the name The Crown of Septemvri.^[1][2] But the project was cancelled in 2013.

After the takeover of Septemvri by DIT Group in 2015, the new owners would fund a new stadium. In early 2017 it was announced that the new Septemvri Stadium building would start in summer 2017, if the team get the promotion for the Bulgarian First League.^[3] In 2018, the project with 4,500 seats was run, expecting to be approved before the end of 2018.^[4] As of 2023, no construction was started, while Septemvri Sofia are playing on Stadion Dragalevtsi or Vasil Levski National Stadium.
