Sarajevo Olympic mountains tour starts with a visit to the Olympic stadium where opening ceremonies of the 1984 Winter Olympics took place. For this event, it was thoroughly renovated and expanded. It is home to football club FK Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team. The club proposed the new name Asim Ferhatovic – Hase in honor to its former footballer and club’s legend. It’s a multi-purpose stadium that was built in 1947 in the period after World War II. Former Youth Work Brigades from all parts of the country participated in the construction of the stadium. The stadium hosted major soccer teams like Manchester United, Real Madrid, Inter, etc.
