'''Chernomorets Stadium''' ({{langx|bg|Стадион „Черноморец“}}) is a [[multi-purpose stadium]] in [[Burgas]], [[Bulgaria]]. It was used mostly for [[football (soccer)|football]] matches and was the home ground of [[FC Chernomorets Burgas|Chernomorets Burgas]] and [[FC Chernomorets 1919 Burgas]].

== General information ==
The stadium was constructed in 1954 and had an original capacity of 22,000 people. Prior to 1990 the stadium was called "9th September".

In 2006 [[PSFC Chernomorets Burgas]] left the stadium for the more modern [[Stadion Lazur|Lazur Stadium]], and two years later the club presented plans for a [[Chernomorets Arena|modern sports complex]] featuring a stadium supposed to meet all UEFA and FIFA requirements, a shopping centre, office buildings and others. This complex never got completed, or even begun. The sports complex in place of the stadium fell into disrepair.

In 2015, as part of the [[2015 UEFA European Under-17 Championship|UEFA European Under-17 Championship]], all stadiums that were elected as hosts got finances, and Chernomorets got the most.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Разследване: Колко пари даде БФС за стадиони по време на Евро 2015 |url=https://btvnovinite.bg/bulgaria/razsledvane-kolko-pari-dade-bfs-za-stadioni-po-vreme-na-evro-2015.html |access-date=2024-07-12 |website=bTV Новините |language=bg}}</ref> Part of the things which had to be done with those finances were installing lightning and fixing the stands, but the only things that were done was renovating the locker  rooms and reinstalling three training pitches and the main one. The stadium itself was not used for any matches in the tournament, but rather only for training. After the tournament the stadium fell into disrepair once again.

In 2019, as part of the club's 100-year anniversary, [[FC Chernomorets 1919 Burgas]] began renovating the stadium. The main sector had new concrete poured over it, with new seats and even a VIP lounge, the administrative building was renovated completely, the pitch was once again reinstalled and the unused stands were cleared of bushes.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Development |first=Smart Web, KAK |title=Помните ли джунглата на стадион „Черноморец”?

This state of the stadium remained until 2022, when the club left due to the increased rent by the stadium's owners.<ref>{{Cite web |last=BurgasNews |date=2022-09-15 |title=„Черноморец“ напусна дома си, мести се на стадиона в Долно Езерово - Burgasnews |url=https://www.burgasnews.com/2022/09/15/%d1%87%d0%b5%d1%80%d0%bd%d0%be%d0%bc%d0%be%d1%80%d0%b5%d1%86-%d0%bd%d0%b0%d0%bf%d1%83%d1%81%d0%bd%d0%b0-%d0%b4%d0%be%d0%bc%d0%b0-%d1%81%d0%b8-%d0%bc%d0%b5%d1%81%d1%82%d0%b8-%d1%81/ |access-date=2024-07-12 |language=bg-BG}}</ref> As of then the stadium is nearly back to its pre-2019 state.
