Despite these setbacks, in 2023, the Ministry of Culture, Youth, and Sports, in cooperation with the Gjilan Municipality, allocated €15 million for the stadium's renovation, hoping to upgrade it to meet UEFA Category IV standards.

Initially, a tender was opened by the Municipality of Gjilan in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, Youth, and Sports, allocating €15 million for the renovation.

However, the process was halted due to irregularities found by the Procurement Review Body (OSHP), which led to the cancellation of the original tender.

Further complications arose when a company involved in the bidding process filed complaints, leading to the suspension of the procurement activity in early 2024.

The ongoing delays have significantly impacted local football, with fans and teams like Drita and Gjilani eagerly awaiting the stadium's completion.

The reconstruction aims to meet UEFA's fourth category requirements, enhancing the venue for both local teams, SC Gjilani and FC Drita.
