Condition and future

The condition of the Kreenholm Stadium has been under criticism for several decades [3] [4] [5] and Narva Trans have been forced to play their European matches at Rakvere, due to Kreenholm not meeting the UEFA requirements.

Narva estimates that the reconstruction of the stadium will cost more than 25 million euros. [6] According to the development plan set in place in 2023, the city aims to finance the stadium project in 2025–2027, [7] but has also admitted that without financial support from the state, implementing such project could prove to be difficult.

Estonia national team matches

Narva Kreenholm Stadium has hosted two Estonia national football team matches. [8]
