In 2008 the stadium had a capacity of 10,000, but around September 2009 it was upgraded to 12,000 seats.[2] The reason for this, was an urgent need for more high capacity stadiums in the region, particular being requested as part of the upcoming 2010 FIFA World Cup.[3] The stadium, was initially planned to be able to seat 20,000 supporters, but the municipality revealed, that with the funds at their disposal, the stadium will have a capacity of just 12,000.
