Summary/Abstract: The world experience has shown that the availability of football stadiums undoubtedly has its economic and social significance to the cities and the district centers in which they are located. Depending on a number of factors such as: population size, age and gender structure, employment and average income per capita, as well as established football traditions, in some regions the social aspects of such facilities availability are leading, while in others they have found natural pathways to become an essential part of the local economy. All that implies their flawless future functioning to be ensured as early as in planning, construction or reconstruction processes, as well as in those processes related to stadiums management and maintenance in full compliance with the concept of sustainable development - ensuring conditions for future generations to develop their football potential. The realization of all this would not be possible, or at least not in the necessary completeness, without adequate commitment of public authorities, both in the construction and reconstruction processes and in maintenance of the football stadiums.
