In 2009 the Goa Football Association agreed to a deal with giants Kingfisher to rename the Duler Stadium to the Kingfisher Stadium but in January 2009 the people of Mapusa started to reject a rename because despite the stadium being owned by the GFA the land the stadium is on belongs to the Mapusa Communidade.[12]
In 2012 the Goa Football Association approved to revamp the Duler Stadium by adding a new AstroTurf to the stadium, the second stadium to get Astroturf since 2006.[13] On 10 June 2012 it was announced that FIFA had officially approved the move for the new Astroturf.[13] The stadium getting the grant for the Astroturf from FIFA meant that the stadium was part of FIFA's Win in India with India program.[3]
