It is named after the nearby triumphal arch in Bucharest. Nearby is also the Cașin Monastery.
Austria, France and Ukraine's squads were based at the stadium during preparation for (and between matches at) UEFA Euro 2020.[3][4]
The first sporting event held at the stadium was on 3 July 2021 when a rugby union crowd of 4,400 watched the summer internationals header featuring Romania v Argentina, which ended with a 17–24 loss.[5]
