Rajko Mitić Stadium, previously known as Red Star Stadium, also known as Marakana, is a multi-use stadium in Belgrade, Serbia which has been the home ground of Red Star Belgrade since 1963. The stadium is located in Dedinje, municipality of Savski Venac.

Rajko Mitić Stadium, renamed in 2014 in honour of Red Star former player and club legend Rajko Mitić has a seating capacity of 55,538, and is currently the largest stadium in Serbia by capacity.
Marakana has hosted numerous international matches at a senior level, including European Cup final in 1973 and European Championship finals in 1976.

The first football stadium in this location was opened on 24 April 1927. It was the stadium of SK Jugoslavija. It consisted of a 30,000 capacity stadium with grass pitch, athletic track, training facility and club house. SK Jugoslavija played its matches on the stadium until the end of the Second World War when the club was disbanded by the new Yugoslav authorities. The ground was signed over to the newly founded club Red Star Belgrade.

On 27 December 1959, Red Star played its last match at the old ground. FK Novi Sad was the opposition in a farewell game at the dilapidated arena.
After the farewell game, the stadium was demolished to be replaced by a modern new sporting facility on exactly the same spot. 

After three years of construction, the official opening took place on 1 September 1963 with the Yugoslav First League match against NK Rijeka (2:1). That day, some 55,000 spectators came through 9 entrance gates of 5 meters width each into the still unfinished stands. The largest crowd was recorded that autumn at a derby against Partizan Belgrade – 108,000 people. Next year, after the stadium was fully completed its capacity increased to 110,000 spectators and it got the unofficial moniker - Marakana, in honour of the famous Brazilian stadium. During the mid-1990s, in order to meet UEFA demands for spectators' comfort and security, standing places at the stadium were completely done away with. Seats were installed on all 4 stands so that the stadium‘s maximum capacity was 60,000.

In 2008, the club announced the reconstruction of the pitch in the stadium. Under-soil grass heaters were installed and new modern turf has replaced the old playing surface. The training pitch will also be renovated by laying down synthetic turf and installing new lighting equipment.

In 2014 assembly of Red Star decided unanimously to rename the stadium from Red Star Stadium to Rajko Mitić Stadium in honor to the late Red Star legend Rajko Mitić.

Marakana has seldom been used as a concert venue in its 45-year history.
