The Stadium has not seen action since the start of 2017 soccer season. Due to an overhaul of the playing surface that the council had embarked on.

Under the Fifa goal project, Rufaro was one the beneficiaries of optional Artificial Playing Surface installed. But years on unsustained maintenance led to degradation of the pitch.
