History
The stadium opened in 1981 and was called Tetovo City Stadium (Stadion Gradski Tetovo) until 2016.
The Football Federation of Macedonia and the Tetovo Municipality agreed in March 2015 to renovate the stadium as a part of the UEFA "Hat-trick 4" initiative.[3][4] The renovation began in April 2015[5][6] and was completed in April 2016.[7] Floodlights to play matches at night were erected later the same year.[8]
In July 2016, Ecolog International, the owners of KF Shkëndija, took Tetovo City Stadium under concession from the Tetovo municipal council and committed to invest 7.7 million euros to renovate the stadium to be able to host international matches.[9][10][11] The ground was renamed Ecolog Arena under the concession agreement.[12]
On 12 April 2024, Tetovo Municipality started the demolition of the stadium for the construction of the new stadium.The new stadium will have 12.000 seets and will be UEFA standard stadium.
