History
The stadium was opened back in 1930, and it underwent a series of expansions during the 1990-s, when the local club FK Sartid Smederevo played in the top-tier national league. The last major reconstruction happened in 2000, and since then it has its current appearance. 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.[2]
