In 2010, right after the end of the 2009-10 season of the A PFG, the stadium was totally reconstructed to meet the UEFA rules for a 3-star UEFA stadium, in order to host the home matches of Litex Lovech in the 2010-11 UEFA Champions League. The reconstructions of the stadium started on May 12, 2010 and finished on July 10, at a total cost of € 3 million.

Summer of 2011 renovations of the stadium continued as the main stand was demolished and a new one constructed.
