Lithuania National Stadium

Lithuania National Stadium is a new multi-use stadium in Vilnius, Lithuania, that is under construction. It will be used mostly for football matches and will host the home matches of the Lithuania national football team. The stadium will have a capacity of 25,000 people. It replaces the use of S. Darius and S. Girėnas Stadium, Žalgiris Stadium, and Vėtra Stadium. The construction is temporarily abandoned since March 2010. The minister of interior, Dailis Alfonsas Barakauskas, has said that it is expected to be finished by 2016 to a cost around LTL 260 million.[1]

Stadium construction has been revitalized in early 2016. It's planned to be completed between 2019-2020 and should cost about EUR 80-100 million.[2]
