The ground has hosted many football matches including the UEFA Cup Final in 1984 and 1986 FIFA World Cup. In the 1990s, both terraces at the ends of the stadium got rebuilt. The terrace opposite the main stand got transformed into a seater stand, and the stand ultimately was completely rebuilt in 2002 into a modern all-seater stand.
