For these purposes, a club infrastructure development program was developed, which included the creation of a children's and youth academy, as well as the construction of a new educational base for the main staff. ^[3] However, nothing was known about the fate of the stadium.

In June 2015, a large-scale reconstruction of the facility begins.
