Stadium
For most of its history the club played on Skalna Klet stadium. Since the stadium was in bad shape and could not meet UEFA stadia criteria the club officials decided to build a new stadium and in 2003 the main stand of the new Arena Petrol stadium was built. The capacity at the time was 3,600 covered seats. After 2003, three new separate stands were build and when the last one opened in 2008, the stadium was completed. The current capacity of the stadium is 13,006 seats from which around 50% are covered. The old stadium is still used as a training facility for the club.
The club also has a smaller third training ground called Olimp, which was renovated in 2005 and is used as a training camp for youth squads of the club.
