History
[edit]On 26 March 2017 the renovated stadium was inaugurated. All the stands of the stadium became covered. Gábor Végh, owner of the Zalaegerszegi TE, said that after 15 years the renovation of the stadium was finished. The club house, the ZTE shop, and the VIP sector was also completely renovated.[1]
On 5 September 2024, Belarus hosted Bulgaria at the stadium due to UEFA sanctions on Belarus as a result of Belarusian involvement in the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[2] The match ended with a goalless draw.[3] Two more Belarus home games were played, against Northern Ireland on 12 October and Luxembourg on 15 October.
The stadium is set to hold at least two more international games involving Belarus in the upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifying on 8 September and 9 October, against Scotland and Denmark respectively. [4] On 9 October 2025, Belarus hosted Denmark in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying match.[5] The match ended with a 6-0 victory for Denmark.[6][7]
