Used mostly for football matches, the arena belonged to the local municipality before it was handed over to the Rustavi metallurgical plant.

Therefore, the stadium built in 1948 was the home ground of Metalurgi Rustavi for many years.

After the latter dissolved in 2015, FC Rustavi became its tenants, although due to a dispute with the plant administration, at some point they had to move out of the stadium.

In early 2018, the Football Federation revealed that talks were ongoing about a possible return of the stadium to the city municipality.
