The construction of the stadium began in November 1949 and took eight years for various reasons. Finally, the club's new football home was finished on 6 June 1957. The newly built stadium has received 30,000 spectators and the first game which was played on, was betweenRadnički KragujevacandPartizan Belgradeand it ended 2-2. The largest attendance in aYugoslav First Leaguegame was on 24 August 1969 when Radnički played againstHajduk Splitin front of a crowd of 35,000. The largest attendance ever recorded in the stadium took place in 1969 when Radnički played a friendly match againstSantosat which 40,000 spectators came to watch the legendaryPeléplay in Yugoslavia for the first time.[3][4]

In 2007, the stadium underwent a refurbishment, which included the installation of 15,100 bucket seats.[5]However, in 2012, seats were removed from the nine northeasternmost sectors of the stadium. The stadium remained limited by the lack offloodlights,restricting game schedules to daylight hours.[6]

Failed plans to build new stadium

[edit]

In May 2023, the construction works of a new 20,000 seater stadium had been expected to start, costing around€70,000,000.[7][8]

In January 2024, the government suspended the process due to all received offers surpassing the predetermined maximum budget for the project by at least 50%.[9]Later in 2024, the plans to rebuit the stadium were abandoned, with the new stadium now planned in a separate location near theMaršićsettlement.[10][11]

The stadium underwent a minor refurbishment instead, with floodlights being installed and is planned as a training facility in the future, according to theMayor of Kragujevac.[12][13]FSSaided€500,000 for the process.[14]
