Marakana was built between 1960 and 1963. She replaced the old stadium of SK Yugoslavia, which was built in 1927, and on which Zvezda played the last match against Novi Sad. The first game on Marakana was played on September 1, 1963 against Rijeka (2-1). Then, on still unfinished tribunes, through fifteen qualified entrances of five meters wide, 55,000 spectators passed through, to record the record in that autumn in the derby with Partizan - 74,000 spectators. The next year, as the stadium was fully completed, the capacity was officially 95,000.
