Whether you are a Red Star supporter or not, no trip to Belgrade is complete without coming here. You can take photos outside and inside the stadium as well as taking photos on the army tanker truck just outside the stadium.
There are 2 stores that you can go too, to purchase Red Star merchandise. You have the Red Star shop which sells Red Star merchandise (jersey’s, jackets, pants etc) and you have the Delije supporter shop which sells Red Star supporter merchandise.
If you are coming to watch the football, don’t be alarmed as the experience will be totally different to what you are used to. The atmosphere will be nothing like you have seen before! Enjoy the experience.

Some people tried to warn us off going as they said it was dangerous. Typically you hear this a lot from people who don't follow football. Actually once in the ground we felt very safe. Tickets were very cheap, about £2 each. The quality of football isn't all that good but really the spectacle for a foreign visitor is in the stands. The crowd are more passionate than just abut any team you will see. They let off fire crackers, flares of all colours, they jump and sing for the full 90 minutes without even a shirt break. The whole atmosphere is incredible even without opposition fans present. I've een matches all around the world but never seen fans as impressive as those at Red Star. Don't be put off by the scare stories as its actually a brilliant experience and safe as well.

This year this beautiful piece of history will be celebrating it's 50th anniversary. It's a home to Red Star Belgrade, an eastern European football giant, most popular club in Serbia. You can visit the museum, take a stadium tour (lockers, pitch, etc.), have a cup of coffee in the stadium cafe, sitting on a bar stool overlooking the red and white stands. The stadium is actually dug into the ground, it's oval, and basically the whole construction makes it very acoustic. Visiting games is truly an unforgettable experience, because of the fans mostly, and because of the whole old-school experience. Any true football fan's delight.
The stadium does need renovation, but it is a shrine for everyone who lives and breathes red and white.

Managed to catch a Red Star vs Partisan game here! If you ever get chance to get to see this game, GO! The football might not be the best nowadays but the atmosphere this game generates is one of the best on world football!

The Marakana is the largest stadium in Serbia, I've visited Belgrade 3 times and each time have gone to the Marakana, I enjoy having a walk around it and seeing the impressive graffiti around the Stadium. If you're in Belgrade and Crvena Zvezda are playing at the Marakana then I highly recommend you go watch a game, Delije Ultras are some of the best fans I've ever seen and make such a great atmosphere with their constant chanting and letting off of flares and smoke bombs. Match tickets are always very cheap as well!

We were there last March for the DERBY: Red Star vs Partizan ( Deliae vs Grobari).
Incredible atmosphere, lot of police and security, everything was under control by the police.
We had VIP TRIBUNE seat so we had an excellent view of the watch and the whole field.
Supporters of RED STAR made an unbelievable choreography , we felt the spirit of this DERBY. Partizan supporters made some trouble with fire but everithing gone very safety.
We will come back as soon as possible, may be for the next Champions League match.
Hvala!

Where do I start?!
On entry to the stadium everyone in the away end was throughly search. No coins are allowed in so even my purse was searched. I have no problem with this however the Serbian home fans managed to get not only coins into the ground (one hit me) but bottles, flares, firecrackers & even a JAVLIN. All were thrown at Away fans. When they were thrown the police & stewards reaction was to push the Welsh fans back not to stop the Serbia fans throwing stuff. Not even a cage was stopping them get through, yes you read it correctly a cage! There were bars on all sides of the Away section with spikes on top of them & a trench separating the pitch from the fans.
There was limited refreshments on offer 1 small coke & a small water was 1500 RDS which is about €12.50 😳The toilets had no toilet paper, take tissues!
We were kept after the game for over an hour. There were no refreshments being served & they shut the toilets. After about 70mintues we were ushered on to buses. It was very intimidating as there were rows of armed police. The police were lined all the way to the city.

This is a tough one to rate, the stadium is certainly showing its age. Apparently there is a 10 year renovation project to bring is back to Champions League final standard. Attendance for matches (Partizan and some Champions League games may be the exception) is low, The stadium looked barely a quarter full for the match we saw against Vozdovac. However, you can't help but be impressed by the passion of the ultra Zvezda fans, they chant and jump up and down for the entire game. Naturally there are flares and even fireworks. Only a few dozen visiting supporters completely surrounded by security, we weren't aware of any trouble, plenty of police in riot gear around if anything did happen. We sat in the VIP section of the west stand the view was great, but with the running track you do feel further away from the action. The west stand is a good bet for visitors because it's covered. I wouldn't suggest the ultra section for anyone who doesn't know the chants or doesn't want to jump up and down for 90 minutes+. The catering wasn't high class, but perfectly adequate and at least as good as most UK grounds. Must be the only football stadium anywhere that has a tank (no longer used) outside,
provides a different photo opportunity.
Finally, we bought our tickets the day before the match, bought some bits from the Red Star shop (international prices), and took the opportunity to visit the museum. This is well worth doing for 200 rsd, the guide is brilliant, a true Zvezda fan, a really nice guy with an encyclopaedic knowledge of everything Red Star. Can talk about specific games as if they happened the day before (in our case he was recalling a match against Watford in the 1980's), his knowledge of football generally is vast. We spent an hour with him he took photos of us in the directors area, showed us all the bits he thought we would particularly like, suggested some areas to visit in Belgrade. All in all 10 out of 10 for him and the museum.

My son and I visited the stadium on a hot June day, taking a 20 minute bus ride from the railway station, and were overwhelmed by the welcome, courtesy and knowledge of the museum curator, Predrag Trkulja. This guy is an excellent ambassador for European football and I hope is paid well! The stadium itself is old but monumental, with great views from the top of the stands out over the city. The museum is crammed full of history, and celebrates the many other European clubs who have played here over the years. (The bus back to the centre goes on to Zemun, over the Saba, a great place for lunch on the river!)

Really fancy going to the red star v partisan derby on 29th Feb. Is it safe to take my wife and son? How much is it to get in?
Written July 27, 2019
No, it is not safe. Why do you want to go to the derby? Because of the pyro and crazy scenes, isn't it? Easy, don't go with your family.

Hello, I would like to come to Belgrade for the Champions League match Red Star- Napoli with my wife. I am a Napoli supporter but I am also a fan of Red Star team. I have already visited Belgrade and would like to be at the match. I bought to tickets in the area reserved to Napoli supportes. Do you think we are safe? I really would like to come, I would like to see the Marakana', but my wife is scared about the idea and is pusshing not to go.
Do you think is safe for the away's team supporter to go alone to the stadium? Is there the possibility of fight or danger inside or outside the stadium? Do you have any suggestion? Hvala!

If I want to buy match tickets for red star match, can I still get it at the stadium just before match time?
Written February 10, 2018
It depends, if you are aiming to national competition match, yes, You can. If you have a plan to go to international match, it's better to buy it earlier.
