The stadium entered reconstruction on 2012 to meet the rapidly changing needs of FC Ufa that made a rapid rise to the Russian Premier League, and was inaugurated on August 9, 2015, when the club hosted the reigning Russian champions Zenit. The home team narrowly lost the game 1-0 and the only goal of the game was scored by Danny.[3]
Neftyanik also hosted 2018–19 UEFA Europa League home games for Ufa from the second qualifying round until the defeat from the play-off round with Rangers.[4] Out the 3 matches hosted, Ufa won 1, while drawing the remaining 2.
