Ticha Stadium (Bulgarian: Стадион „Тича“) is a multi-purpose stadium in Varna, Bulgaria, located in the Chayka district of the city. Currently, the stadium is used for football matches and is the home ground of Cherno More Varna. It has a seating capacity of 8,250 spectators. The stadium is named after the previous tenant of the club, SC Ticha and the previous name of the river Kamchia, located few kilometers south of Varna.
History
The stadium was constructed and completed in 1968 with the help of volunteers and fans by an initiative held by the then-president of the club Vladimir Chakarov.[1] It was renovated in 2008, when plastic seats were installed on the nоrth stand. A follow-up renovation was also initiated in 2015 and in 2016 the club received 1 mln. leva from the Bulgarian Ministry of Youth and Sports for the installment of floodlights and a LED scoreboard.
To date, the stadium does not meet UEFA guidelines to host the home matches of the club in the European competitions, which means that the team is forced to play at another stadium with approved UEFA requirements in Bulgaria. Because of that, the club will move to a new stadium.
