Renovations

2013

The stadium was renovated in early 2013, as navy-blue seats were put on the main seven sectors. In December, roof covers were added over the main stand.

2017

Following Dunav's promotion to Bulgarian First League in 2016, the stadium had to be renovated to meet the licensing criteria of the Bulgarian Football Union. Therefore a new drainage system was installed, as well as a new automatic watering system, the renovation also included replacing the old grass surface of the stadium with a new one and constructing floodlights.[2] On the 24th of April, the Bulgarian Football Union licensed the stadium. Prior to the event, Dunav had been playing their home matches on Ludogorets Arena in Razgrad, Bulgaria.[3]
