Steaua Stadium (Romanian: Stadionul Steaua), informally also known as Ghencea Stadium, was a football stadium in Bucharest, Romania, which served as the home of Steaua București. It was inaugurated on 9 April 1974 when Steaua played a friendly game against OFK Belgrade, 2–2.[1] Gheorghe Tătaru was the first player to score in the stadium.

The stadium was entirely demolished in 2018, and was replaced with a new all-seater stadium opened in 2021.
