History

The fourth pitch was completed in 1989. It was then called the Septemvri Stadium and had a seating capacity of 12,000. It was inaugurated that year on 26 March with the match FC Hebar - FC Yantra 1:0, attended by 15 000 spectators. On 30 July 1991 the stadium was renamed "Georgi Benkovski", whose name it still bears today. This is the current stadium of FC Hebar. The three seasons in ''A'' Football Group were played in this stadium. It has modern changing rooms, a press conference hall, two covered benches for journalists and guests, a referee's room and meets all the requirements for holding football matches.[1]
