It is named after a local Jewish Romanian aristocrat, Francisc von Neumann, a baron who owned several businesses in Arad and personally sponsored the construction of the old stadium and the founding of the team.[2]
The first match at the stadium was a Liga I game played between UTA Arad and Voluntari, which ended in a goalless draw.[3] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the game was played without spectators.
