About this venue
Stadion Pod Dubnom is a compact football stadium in Žilina, known as the home of MŠK Žilina and one of the recognizable sports venues in northwestern Slovakia. Set below the Dubeň hillside, the venue has a clear stand-based layout and a capacity of around ten thousand seated spectators, making it large enough for important matches while remaining easy to navigate from almost every sector.
Inside the stadium, the experience is shaped by the closeness of the pitch and the atmosphere typical of football events, with good visibility, organized seating sectors, and essential visitor facilities available during events. Food kiosks, sanitary facilities, and stand access points are arranged within the complex, so visitors can plan their entry according to the sector shown on the ticket.
The venue is located at Športová 250/9, Žilina, Slovakia. Access to the stadium is via the local streets surrounding the sports complex, and marked stadium parking areas are available for visitors arriving by car, with arrangements that may vary depending on the event.

About the city: Žilina
Žilina, an important urban centre in north-western Slovakia, is becoming increasingly recognisable as a practical destination for sports events, concerts and cultural gatherings. The city combines the atmosphere of a historic core with modern amenities, making it suitable for visitors who want to organise their arrival, stay and departure from an event with ease. Its compact size further simplifies movement between accommodation, restaurants, squares and venues where programmes take place.
Transport connectivity is one of Žilina’s main advantages. Local public transport is operated by DPMŽ – Dopravný podnik mesta Žiliny, with a network of city bus and trolleybus lines that make it easier to reach different parts of the city. For arrival by train, Železničná stanica Žilina, the main railway station located close to the centre, is important, while air access is provided by Letisko Žilina in the Dolný Hričov area. This combination of rail, road and city transport connections makes access to halls, stadiums and larger urban locations simple and practical.
Before or after an event, Žilina offers enough attractions for a pleasant extension of the stay. Mariánske námestie, a historic square with arcades and hospitality venues, stands out in particular and is ideal for a walk and a break in the city centre. It is also worth visiting Budatínsky zámok, located near the confluence of the Váh and Kysuca rivers, as well as walking along the riverside areas that give the city a calmer, greener character. Žilina is therefore a good choice for those who want to combine an event with a short urban trip in north-western Slovakia.
