History

The stadium was built in 1964, but back then it was only a minor venue with 15,000 people to accommodate. In 1991, the capacity was doubled after a minor revamp. Athletics track, floodlight masts and media infrastructure also came in allowing the ground to host major events. One of the major events came in 1997 when the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship was played at the venue. Seats were installed as part of the event preparation.[3]
