It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home ground of FK Budućnost Podgorica, the most successfull football club in Montenegro. Two years ago its capacity was about 7,000 spectators, but with the building of north and south stand it expanded to 17,000.
Construction is still in progress, with new grass cover on stadium scheduled to be finished in October 2006. Eastern stand is also to be built soon, and stadium will then have a capacity of 24,000.
It is one of two stadiums in Montenegro given licence by UEFA for international matches. The north stand is home for FK Budućnost fans, popular Varvari.
