It is currently the home venue of the Armenian Premier League club FC Shirak of Gyumri.

When Shirak was founded in 1958, the stadium became the regular home ground of the team for the Soviet First League competition.

The stadium hosted the 2011–12 Armenian Cup final match when Shirak defeated Impulse to win the title for the first time in their history.

However, after the most recent developments in 2012, the stadium was permitted to be used by the club for their home games at the European competitions.

On 12 July 2012, Shirak hosted Rudar Pljevlja at the Gyumri City Stadium, in the qualifying phase of the 2012–13 UEFA Europa League.
