Jonava Central Stadium

Jonava Central Stadium, also known as Jonava’s central stadium or “Lietava” Stadium, is a compact multipurpose sports venue with a natural grass pitch and a capacity of approximately 2,600 spectators. Its western and eastern stands were developed through several renovation phases, creating a well-organised venue used primarily for football matches as well as other outdoor sporting and community events.

The stands are positioned close enough to the playing area to provide clear views and an immediate connection with the action, particularly when the seats are filled with local supporters. Food, drink and other spectator services may vary according to the event organiser, so visitors should check the relevant entry rules, permitted items and gate-opening times before arrival.

The stadium is located at Žeimių g. 17, Jonava, Lithuania, within a wider municipal sports zone containing several pitches and sports facilities. Entrances can be approached directly from Žeimių Street, while visitors arriving by car can use parking areas around the complex, subject to event-specific arrangements. Further information about reaching the area, local transport and travelling around Jonava is provided below.

Jonava, a city in Kaunas County in central Lithuania, is a compact yet diverse destination for sporting fixtures, concerts and city events. Jonavos sporto arena serves as a multipurpose venue for indoor sports, cultural programmes and larger gatherings, while Jonavos miesto centrinis stadionas, also known as Lietava Stadium, provides an open-air football atmosphere. The cultural offering is complemented by Jonavos kultūros centras and the outdoor Joninių slėnis venue, giving visitors a combination of sport, music and local events within an easily navigable urban setting.

Getting around Jonava is supported by the bus network operated by Jonavos autobusai, which provides urban and suburban routes as well as mobile payment through the Jonava E-Bus system. Jonavos geležinkelio stotis connects the city to Lithuania’s LTG Link railway network, while bus services provide onward travel towards Kauno autobusų stotis and other surrounding destinations. For international visitors, the most practical gateway is Kaunas Airport in Karmėlava, from where Jonava can be reached by road transport. The arena, stadium and central city facilities can be reached by local bus, taxi or on foot, depending on the location of the accommodation.

Before or after an event, visitors can walk along the landscaped banks of the Neris River, where pedestrian and cycling paths follow the waterfront. In the city centre, Sąjūdžio aikštė is a distinctive square with fountains and landscaped public spaces, while a walk through the historic centre leads towards Jonavos krašto muziejus and the Church of Saint James the Apostle. Varnutės tvenkiniai and the nearby Joninių slėnis provide additional green areas for relaxation, making it easy to combine a sporting or musical event with exploring the city.
