Put into operation on May 8th 2009
Location and architectural design
The station is situated at the crossing of Dragan Tsankov blvd. and Evlogi Georgiev blvd., not far from the National stadium Vasil Levski. The station is named after the stadium. It is near the place where Junak stadium was situated once. The metro station is under the ground, with side platforms. There are three escalators on each platform and a lift for disabled persons and mothers with children. Because of the peculiar location of the station, there is a ground vestibule with two exits: the one leading to Evlogi Georgiev blvd. is bigger and it serves as an exit and entrance simultaneously, while as the other one /facing Dragan Tsankov blvd./ serves only as an exit.
The station is 22 m deep and it has 5 underground levels: 2 levels for service premises and underground vestibule and one sub-platform level. The station is colored in brown, beige and white. The lighting is fitted in rows of concave circles above the two platforms into two longitudinal information tubes, colored in dark red. Four cupolas are constructed above the vestibule to let the sunlight through. Besides, there are 3 storeys constructed for underground parking lots with the capacity of more than 200 vehicles. They are built above a part of the station and the connecting tunnel under Dragan Tsankov blvd.
