History

The first football pitch in the area was built in 1934 and it was not until 1983 when the first stand was built. Good results and attendances on NK Mura matches were the main factors leading club officials to build two additional stands in 1994. The stadium got its present image in 2001 when the stands were covered by a roof. In January 2019, Fazanerija received the floodlights.[1] The current capacity of the stadium is 3,782 covered seats. With the standing area included the stadium could hold up to 5,500 spectators.

So far, the stadium has hosted two matches of the Slovenia national football team and was part of two Slovenian Cup finals. In 2011, the stadium was used by the Football Association of Slovenia as one of the main venues for hosting the youth tournaments for U17 and U19 national teams.[2]
