Installing hybrid grass fields help the stadium to stand up to all the challenges provided by busy stadia, competitive sports activity and environmental conditions. It gives more playing hours and faster pitch recovery. 

In spring this year Batumi stadium will host the Georgian National League games.

In 2023 the UEFA European Under-21 Championship will be held at Batumi stadium.
