The first phase of the reconstruction, which involved making the stadium suitable for hosting football matches, was completed in March 2023.
[2] The story of stadium goes back in the early 1920s when priest Ausone (Henri) Damperat on behalf of the Saint Augustine College purchased a large plot of land in the quarter of Kamenitza, then east outskirts of Plovdiv.
Due to following urban regulations, the terrain was almost expunged and a neighbouring cadastre plot had substituted it whilst half a million Leva being spent to acquire.
As a result, building works began, and nearly two years later, Botev Plovdiv returned to their home ground.
In order to connect the changing room with the field a tunnel was built under the east and north stand, this slightly affected the overall capacity of the stadium.
[3][4] The renovations included replacing the field's old grass surface with a new one, under which were set up new drainage, watering and heating systems.
[9] In the summer of 2014, the reconstruction of the new stadium temporarily stopped, because Botev Plovdiv's main sponsor ‒ Corporate Commercial Bank experienced issues.
After ages of problems, lack of investment and several reconstruction setbacks, the stadium hosted its opening match on the 29th of April 2023 against Levski Sofia.
