History

Construction of a new stadium began in early 1946, as part of the sports complex which featured a football pitch, athletics track, courts for tennis, basketball and volleyball and concrete stands. The location chosen for the project was an area called Šubićevac, which is where Rade Končar, a notable Second World War anti-fascist fighter, was executed by the Italian army along with 25 other members of the resistance. The stadium was hence named Stadion Rade Končar () in memory of him.

The first phase of the construction went on for two years, and the stadium broke ground on 1 May 1948, when a friendly match was played between Šibenik and Hajduk Split. Several football games as part of the 1979 Mediterranean Games, hosted by nearby Split, were also played on the stadium.
