In the summer of 2014, the reconstruction of the new stadium temporarily stopped, due to the fact that Botev Plovdiv's main sponsor ‒ Corporate Commercial Bank experienced issues. On 6 November 2014 the license of the bank was revoked. The reason for the revocation, according to the Bulgarian National Bank, was a significant exposure of the bank's credit sheet to investors related to Tsvetan Vasilev (who at that time was the owner of Botev Plovdiv and the chairman of Corporate Commercial Bank). The lack of financing forced the club to stop the reconstruction, and search for new investors.
