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

[edit]

Following Dunav's promotion to Bulgarian First League in 2016, the stadium was renovated to meet the licensing criteria of the Bulgarian Football Union. A new drainage system and an automatic watering system were installed, the renovation also included replacing the grass surface of the stadium and constructing floodlights.[2] On the 24th of April, the Bulgarian Football Union licensed the stadium. Prior to the event, Dunav played their home matches on Ludogorets Arena in Razgrad, Bulgaria.[3]
