State financing makes up the majority of the project filed by the county council, with Daniel-Cristian Stan serving as mayor of Târgoviște.
Physical construction has reached 65 percent completion, according to Sport.ro.
Technical Modifications and Tax Increases Drive Cost Adjustments
Government officials said the cost adjustment stemmed from technical modifications required to adapt the project to site conditions. Other factors included contractual price updates, an increase in the value-added tax rate from 19 percent to 21 percent, and new legislative provisions governing sports infrastructure co-financing, as outlined by Cine construieste?.
Project revisions involve reconfiguring vehicle and pedestrian traffic routes and repositioning several buildings, including the multi-story parking structure, according to GSP. Planners added an underground passage designated for officials, VIP guests, and press representatives. These latter features lead toward a nearby military unit, the location where Nicolae Ceaușescu was executed in December 1989.
Planners optimized the feasibility study to align the complex with the planned high-speed road and express route connecting Bucharest to Târgoviște. This southern approach led authorities to redispose the stadium and the large public parking garage so that the main view of the complex remains open, positioning the arena as a primary visual landmark at the entrance to the city.
Arena Features and Construction Timeline Target December 2027
The completed arena will span a developed area of 36,560 square meters, featuring a 12,000-seat covered tribune capacity, according to Defapt.
The estimated duration to finish the remaining construction is 13 months, setting a completion target of December 2027.
Chindia Târgoviște competes in Liga 2, leading the league standings with 30 points after 13 matches. Because the new arena will not open before late 2027, the club will continue hosting matches at the Eugen Popescu stadium if it secures promotion to the Superliga, according to Golazo.
