History
The stadium got its current appearance from its most recent reconstruction in 2000. The venue hosted a 2009 European Cup rugby league match, when Serbia played Wales.
In late August 2012, an unidentified virus infected the grass at the stadium and forced FK Smederevo to play its fixtures outside of the stadium until the grass was changed.[1]
