The construction is built on the site of the former Ilie Oană Stadium, which was completed in 1937.

The stadium is named after Ilie Oană, a famous player and coach.

Milestones

  • The first match to be played at the stadium was an exhibition game between a team of former Petrolul Ploiești, the generation which won the Romanian Cup in 1995, and a selection of former Romanian internationals, amongst which Gheorghe Hagi, Gheorghe Popescu, Viorel Moldovan, Ovidiu Stângă and Daniel Prodan. The former internationals won the match 4-3.[3] The first goal scored on this stadium belonged to Cristian Zmoleanu.
  • Petrolul's first competitive match at the stadium was an Liga I game against Dinamo București on 25 September 2011, which ended 5-1 for the Bucharest team. Dinamo player Cosmin Moți scored the first goal of the game and thus the first official goal at new Ilie Oană Stadium.
