Georges de Regibus Stadium (Bulgarian: Стадион Жорж дьо Режибюс) is a new multi-purpose all-seater stadium currently under construction in Varna, Bulgaria, which is going to be built directly, just rotated to lie on the north-south axis, in the place of the former Yuri Gagarin Stadium. Once finished, the stadium will be used mostly for football matches and will also be the new home ground of the local Cherno More Varna. The venue will have a capacity of 22,441 spectators.[2] Due to financial crises in Bulgaria, the stadium’s construction has been put on hold multiple times. As of August 2023, the stadium is yet to be completed.

The stadium is expected to be named after Georges de Regibus, a Swiss athlete and sports teacher credited with introducing association football to Bulgaria in 1894.
