History

The stadium underwent a phased reconstruction process. In 2017, a modular, movable grandstand was installed on the eastern perimeter, designed to serve either the main stadium, or the adjacent artificial pitch, with a flexible configuration allowing mixed in-between utilization between the two.

Following this, construction on the main stand commenced on the West edge in 2017 and concluded in 2021 with the inauguration of the new Main stand, boasting over 2,000 seating capacity, marking the stadium's official reopening. [2] Subsequently, in the same year, a second reconstruction of the opposing Eastern stand commenced, to erect a permanent tribune. A total of additional 1,136 bucket seats were added, replacing the modular structure and again distributed between the pitches.
