In 2015 FK Radnik was promoted for the first time in its history to Serbian Superliga and in the summer of 2015 stadium was modernized and expanded; new stands on east, north and west were erected, as well as floodlight masts. [1] [2] [3] [4] Renovation works costs around 40 million dinars and expanded stadium's capacity to 3,312 seats. [5]

Game was played at full stadium and was won 2–1 by FK Partizan, who gain the title for the sixth time in history (fifteenth including Yugoslav Era). [6] [7] Organization of this match in Surdulica was questioned due to relatively small stadium and security concerns, but the federation kept its decision. [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]
On 15 November 2018 a friendly game between Serbian and Macedonian Under-18 national football teams was played at the stadium. [14] Serbian team won by 2–0. [15]
In 2018–19 season, after historic promotion to Superliga, FK Dinamo Vranje played most of their games at Surdulica City Stadium due to infrastructural troubles with the ground in their own town. [16] [17]
