Stadion Ivan Laljak-Ivić

Stadion Ivan Laljak-Ivić is a recognizable stadium in Zaprešić, designed for football matches, sports programs, and open-air events. It is a functional sports venue with a compact layout, where the stands keep visitors close to the pitch and create a direct matchday experience. Its importance comes from its role as a local sports hub and a place where the atmosphere of an event is felt as soon as visitors enter the stadium.

The interior experience is shaped by good visibility, simple movement, and close proximity to the field, giving visitors a clear view of the action throughout the event. The open stadium design supports the natural acoustics of cheering, while practical facilities around the stands make the stay easier before and during the program.

The stadium is located at Ul. Vladimira Novaka 23, Zaprešić, Croatia. Access to the entrance is most convenient on foot from the surrounding streets or by car to nearby parking areas, depending on the organization of each event.

Zaprešić, a town at the western gateway to the Zagreb metropolitan area, is becoming an increasingly interesting destination for visitors who want to combine sports events, concerts and a pleasant stay in a calmer urban setting. Its advantage lies in its proximity to Zagreb, but also in its own identity, recognizable through cultural heritage, green spaces and practical accessibility. For audiences coming to matches, music programs or larger gatherings, Zaprešić offers a good balance between urban energy and a more relaxed atmosphere.

Transport connectivity is one of the town’s main strengths. Zaprešić is easy to reach by HŽ Putnički prijevoz trains via Zaprešić railway station, with a connection to Zagreb Main Railway Station, while ZET bus line 172 Zagreb Črnomerec – Zaprešić links the town with the important Zagreb terminal Črnomerec. For arrivals from other countries or more distant cities, the key entry point is Franjo Tuđman Airport, from where travel continues through Zagreb toward Zaprešić by public transport, taxi or car. This combination of train, bus and road links makes it easier to reach sports grounds, halls and event venues in Zaprešić, as well as larger arenas in Zagreb.

Before or after an event, Zaprešić offers enough attractions for an enjoyable continuation of the visit. Novi dvori Jelačićevi stand out in particular, a historic complex with a park, avenues and cultural facilities, along with the Matija Skurjeni Museum, which further enriches a visit to the town. For a more relaxed walk or a break in nature, the Zajarki lakes are a good choice, while the proximity of the Sava River and Zagreb’s urban area makes it easy to combine cultural, sports and sightseeing plans. Zaprešić is therefore a practical choice for anyone who wants to complement an event with a short city trip, good connections and a pleasant local atmosphere.
