History
The stadium was built using funds from the European Union and opened on July 6, 2008.[1]
In May–June 2009, the stadium's original seating capacity of 4,200 was increased to hold 6,500 people. This was achieved via additionally constructing a Southern stand, while the Eastern stand's footprint was lengthened left and right alongside the sideline by constructing extensions to the existing tribune that had held only 280 seats before; It was also refurbished and had the seats replaced. With the works completed, the stadium hosted an international match between Lithuania national team and Romania in its new configuration.[2]
The stadium was selected to host the final of the 2013 UEFA European Under-19 Championship as Lithuania won the bid in 2010.[3]
Between the 2011 and 2019 seasons the stadium was named ARVI Football Arena after the sponsoring rights were bought by ARVI Enterprises Group.[4][5]
On 11 December 2019, reports were published that ARVI Group will no longer support Sūduva club. There were notes and signboards bearing the name of a former sponsor. The ARVI Arena has been renamed the Marijampolė Football Arena.[6] On 14 January 2020 FK Sūduva announced about new general sponsor Hikvision and renaming the stadium into Hikvision arena.[7]
