The construction of the stadium was launched in 2006 with the assistance of the [FIFA](/source/FIFA) Goal Programme. It was officially opened in 2008 with a capacity of 3,600 seats.

Further developments were implemented later in 2011, when the playing pitch was modernized and the capacity of the stadium was increased up to 4,860 seats; 2,760 at the northern stand, 1,500 at the southern stand and 600 at the western stand.

The surrounding training centre of the club consists of 3 regular-sized training fields as well as 4 mini-football grounds, and an indoor mini-football training field.

The stadium was entirely renovated during the 1st quarter of 2019 when floodlights were installed and other facilities were upgraded prior to the [2019 UEFA European Under-19 Championship](/source/2019_UEFA_European_Under-19_Championship).
