History

The stadium was being built gradually. Very first football pitch on stadium's current location was opened back in 1962. In 1987, the larger eastern stand was built in order to fulfill the needs of Summer Universiade held that same year. In 2005, after NK Inter Zaprešić finished runners-up in Croatian First Football league, the stadium received the new floodlights.[3] In 2016 the city of Zaprešić decided to rebuild the adjacent training grounds inside the complex. For this purpose the brand new artificial turf pitch was built, while smaller, already existing artificial turf pitch was renovated.[4] In May 2018, reconstruction of main football pitch started. This includes: implementation of new ground drainage, ground heating system and installation of new hybrid grass.[5] On December 14, 2019 an assembly of Inter Zaprešić was held to commemorate 90 years of the club. The assembly decided to rename ŠRC Zaprešić to Ivan Laljak-Ivić stadium in honour of their late president. Under the guidance of Laljak-Ivić Inter entered the First League of Croatia and achieved their greatest success, winning the Croatian cup.
