Stadionul Naţional de Rugby Arcul de Triumf (Triumphal Arch National Rugby Stadium) is a multi-purpose stadium in Bucharest, Romania. Being constructed on the site of the former stadium, it mostly hosts home matches of the Romania national rugby union team.[1] and FC Dinamo Bucharest. It also hosted games at the 2021 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.[2]
It is named after the nearby triumphal arch in Bucharest.
Austria, France and Ukraine's squads were based at the stadium during preparation for and between matches at UEFA Euro 2020.[3][4][5]
The first sporting event held at the stadium was on 3 July 2021 when a rugby union crowd of 4,400 watched the summer internationals header, featuring Romania v Argentina and ended with a 17-24 loss.[6]
