were erected. In 1990, the stadium was renamed after the legendary forward of the club Georgi Asparuhov who died in a car accident in 1971. Today a monument of Georgi Asparuhov is erected next to the official entrance of the main stand. Conversion to all-seater In 1992, the stadium was closed for a major reconstruction that would redevelop the venue into an all-seater one, eventually allowing international football matches to be played there. During the redevelopment, the football club played its home matches at the Vasil Levski National Stadium. The stadium's reconstruction however was delayed several times between 1993 and 1997 following the economic hyperinflation crisis in Bulgaria. In 1998, a stadium development fund was established with the endorsement of Levski Sofia's supporters to finance the stadium's refurbishment. The reconstruction of the stadium finally ended in 1999, and the venue was officially opened on May 5, 1999 for Levski Sofia's decisive league match against Litex Lovech, which ended in a 0-0 draw. The athletics track was also removed in order for the dimensions of the field to be expanded. With all stands rebuilt to all-seater ones, the capacity of the stadium was eventually reduced to 29,500 seats. Recent redevelopment In 2006, a new scoreboard was installed in a frame with the shape of the Cyrillic letter L (Л), signifying the symbol of Levski Sofia. At the end of 2007, the grass surface was also replaced and new sprinkler, drainage and heating systems were installed. In 2011, plans for a full redevelopment of the stadium emerged. Between February and May 2011 the away supporters stand was refurbished following vandalism during the Eternal derby of Bulgarian football. In the summer break of 2011, a similar refurbishment was done to the Sector B ultras stand. Further plans included an initial reconstruction of Sector V stand, after which the central Sector A stand would be demolished and newly constructed. In December 2012, the club officials presented a redevelopment project for the stadium. Initially planned to be executed in three stages, starting with Sector A, with the estimated capacity of the venue after full reconstruction was expected to be between 28,000 and 30,000. In February 2013, Sector A stand was demolished and the construction of a new stand on its location started on 5 July 2013. The new redeveloped stand had to become the main stand of the stadium, featuring parking areas, dressing rooms, media
