In 2015, a draft for a new building with 18,000 seats was presented. The design leaned closely to the 2014 opened Borisov Arena in Belarusian Borisov on. In April 2018, the construction of the venue was approved by the Romanian government. The new, simpler design is designed for 14,000 seats. On November 1, 2018, the Compania Nationala de Investitii (CNI) signed a contract with the joint venture of the construction companies Constructii Erbasu, Concelex and Terra Gaz Construct for the construction of a new stadium in place of the Stadionul Giulești . This is planned as one of the training facilities for the 2021 European Football Championship in Bucharest. From February 11 to May 7, 2019, the Giulești - Valentin Stănescu stadium was demolished.

At the beginning of October 2019 it became known that the costs for the construction had increased significantly. The initial sum of 25,984,854 euros (around 121 million RON ) increased to 39,499,366 euros (around 187 million RON). The new football arena will be named Rapid Arena . In return, parts of the stadium grounds, such as the grandstands or playing fields, will be named after the Rapid personalities Dan Coe (northern playing field), Tache Macri (southern playing field), Alexandru Neagu (grandstand II), Nicolae Manea ( VIP grandstand) and the former namesake Valentin Stănescu (Grandstand I). For the lodges are the names Ion Costea , Iuliu Baratky , Gheorghe Dungu , Ion Bogdan , Vintilă Cossini , Necula Răducanu , Dumitru Macri , Bazil Marian , Ion Motroc , Ştefan Filotti , Vasile Copil , Ilie Greavu , Constantin Năsturescu , Emil Dumitriu , Ion Pop , Teofil Codreanu , Nicolae Lupescu , Constantin Jamaischi and Ion Ionescu .

The sports facility will meet the requirements of UEFA stadium category 4 and will offer 14,050 seats. This includes a total of 250 spaces for wheelchair users and their companions. The entire hybrid turf area in the interior will measure 120 × 80 m (football: 105 × 70 m). It will be equipped with underfloor heating as well as an irrigation system and drainage for drainage . In addition to football, rugby games should also be able to take place in the Rapid Arena. The new building will be equipped for various sports such as weightlifting , boxing , wrestling , judo , karate , tennis , volleyball , basketball and athletics, as well as a fitness studio and a bowling alley .
