A new sports complex has been built in accordance with current national standards. It includes a football field with natural turf and automatic irrigation, spectator stands for 1,000 people, a sector for track and field training with running tracks, as well as administrative and service buildings.

The construction of the stadium was financed through private investments from PJSC "Food Technologies of Zakarpattia," totaling over 43 million hryvnias. The local community provided a plot of land for development.

It is expected that the complex will allow more than a thousand children and teenagers from the local community and nearby villages to participate in regular sports activities. A special focus of the stadium's work will be physical rehabilitation and adaptation for military personnel returning from conflict zones. On the basis of the complex, veterans will have access to health walks, running, and other events for general recovery.

The opening of the stadium was attended by President of the Ukrainian Football Association Andriy Shevchenko and Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Viktor Mykyta. On the occasion of the opening, a friendly match took place between the local club "Karpatyians" and the national veterans' team of Ukraine. Among those participating were legendary footballer, native of Zakarpattia, four-time champion of the USSR, winner of the UEFA Cup Vasyl Rats and head of the Ukrainian Football Veterans Association, officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleg Sobotsky.
