The stadium is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home ground of FK Budućnost Podgorica. It also serves as a venue for games that other Montenegrin teams play in European competitions, as it is the only Montenegrin stadium that fulfills UEFA standards.
It is a frequent host of the Montenegro national football team, and its debut match against Hungary was played there.
The stadium's original capacity was about 15,000 spectators, which expanded to 17,000[1] with the additions of the north and south stands. An eastern stand is planned to be built soon, which will bring the stadium's capacity to over 20,000.
The pitch measures 105 x 70 meters, and had its grass completely changed in 2006.
The stadium was burned completely during the 1950s, but was later rebuilt.[citation needed]
The north stand is home for FK Budućnost Podgorica fans, the popular Varvari (Barbarians). It contains about a quarter of the stadium's total seating capacity. The other stands in the stadium are available to most other kinds of spectators. Varvari often account for a large percentage of the attendance at games featuring FK Budućnost. They are the largest ultras group in Montenegro.
There have been 258 goals (including eight own goals) scored in 95 games by 150 different players (Up to and including the games on March 25th, 2011).

Qualifying play-offs
The play-off ties will be played over two legs, with the first legs on 11 and 12 November and the second legs on 15 November 2011. The four winners are found according to the standard rules for the knockout phase in European competitions, and the winners will qualify for the Euro 2012 tournament.
After confusion caused by the UEFA play-offs for 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying - which was originally to be an unseeded draw, but was seeded by FIFA in September 2009 - UEFA have announced that the draw for the play-offs will be seeded. The four runners-up with the best positions in the UEFA national team coefficient ranking system will be seeded and will play their second legs at home. Each nation's coefficient and ranking position for the draw and final Euro 2012 draw will be calculated per results up to and including 11 October 2011:[11]
* 40% of the average points per game earned in the UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying stage.
* 40% of the average points per game earned in the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying stage and final tournament.
* 20% of the average points per game earned in the UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying stage and final tournament.
