The stadium will also see the building of a new stand featuring a 500-seat media facility, a 500-seat VIP section and a VIP restaurant. Locker rooms capable of handling four teams at the same time will be built under the new stand.

New seating would be installed at the Republican Stadium. The facility will see its water and electricity supply systems completely overhauled. The stadium`s sewerage system will also be revamped. Sanitary facilities for spectators, 250 seat each, will be built along the stadium`s wall to comply with FIFA and UEFA standards. Turnstiles will be installed at the stadium`s entrance.
