The stadium, which was renovated in 2011, has a capacity of 5,000. The space is difficult because the subsoil consists of rock and there is only a thin sward of grass with an often dry lawn above it. In addition, there are the climatic conditions with sometimes high temperatures and heavy rainfall in the rainy season .
