Stadion Zürich is a planned stadium in Zurich, Switzerland. It will be the home stadium of FC Zürich and Grasshopper Club Zürich, replacing the Hardturm stadium which was closed in September 2007. An initial project was announced in 2003 and should have been ready for Euro 2008. It was backed by the City of Zurich and Credit Suisse. The multi-use stadium would have had a capacity of 30,000 people. In September 2003, the voters of the city of Zurich approved a credit of 47.7 million Swiss francs for its construction. The project was delayed by various legal proceedings. In June 2009, it was announced the initial project was dropped and a smaller football stadium with a capacity of 20,000 was planned for 2014–2015. However, this latter project was turned down by a public referendum, in which 50.8% of the voters said no to the new stadium. In November 2018 there will be another public referendum over a new stadium on the area of the old Hardturm stadium. Projekt Ensemble, as it is called, is combining a stadium with a capacity 20,000 with two skyscraper and a cooperative settlement.

The Hardturm was a football stadium located in Zürich's Kreis 5. Opened in 1929, it was the home of the Grasshopper Club Zürich until it closed in 2007. It was a host stadium for the 1954 FIFA World Cup. The land for the stadium was bought by Walter Schoeller who passed it on his club free of charge. When the stadium was opened in 1929 it could hold 27,500 spectators. After many reconstructions the capacity was 38,000 in 1986, on time for the 100-Year Anniversary of the Grasshopper Club Zürich. Before closing, Hardturm could hold 17,666 spectators with standing areas for the home and away fans. In international games the Hardturm could hold 16,600 spectators with seating places in all areas.During re-construction of the Letzigrund stadium, Grasshoppers shared use of the Hardturm with local rivals FC Zürich for the 2006–07 season. This led to protests by Grasshopper fans. The Hardturm stadium closed in September 2007. Grasshoppers now play at the Letzigrund Stadium. Hardturm's demolition started in December 2008 and a new stadium, Stadion Zürich is planned on the ground of the Hardturm, but the project has been stalled.
