The ambitious project comes to complete the sports ensemble in the area where it will be found, joining the Polyvalent Hall (rebuilt and inaugurated in 2012) and the "Ion Oblemenco" Stadium (inaugurated in 2017 and built on the site of the former "Central" Stadium). At the same time, this will put Craiova back on the map of elite sports competitions, as is normal, in a city with such a tradition.
