History

The stadium was built in 2002 with the support of FIFA's soccer development project in South Asia. [4] In 2017, the National Sports Council decided to upgrade the training grounds into a functional football stadium [5] with constructions finished in 2021. [2]

The stadium was supposed to host regular matches of the Martyr's Memorial A-Division League [6] for the 2021–22 season, but only saw its first league game after renovation during the 2023 season, where it hosted regular matches after its re-inauguration by Prime Minister of Nepal Pushpa Kamal Dahal in February 2023.
