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]
