It was then that in 2017, a group of fans decided to take the lead, through the project "O Retorno do Rei ao Baenão" (The Return of the King to Baenão), which foresaw the return of the stadium after the completion of 10 stages. Shy at first, with resources from sales of cups and revenue from games, the project was gaining strength and supporters, including with the support of the club board. Even with so many difficulties, all the effort was rewarded and, after five years, Baenão was reopened, fulfilling all the demands imposed by CBF. The reopening took place on July 13, 2019, when Remo drew 2–2 with Luverdense, in a match valid for Campeonato Brasileiro Série C.
