It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home ground of KS Flamurtari Vlorë.

[1] Before the construction of the stadium, Flamurtari Vlorë played their home games on a field known as Varri i Halimit, which translates to Halimi's Tomb.

The stadium was built in 1961 with an initial capacity of 6,500, and was expanded to 11,000 in 1975 following a reconstruction.

During the club's golden era the stadium would attract crowds of up to 15,000 spectators and in 1987 when the club faced FC Barcelona in the UEFA Cup there was a crowd of 18,500, making it the ground's record attendance.

In February 2013, the new pitch was laid which was funded equally by the club and the Albanian Football Association and by the end of 2014–2015 season the stadium will be fully reconstructed and covered.
