History

In the past, the stadium was used as the home ground of many Malaysian teams, including Felda United, PDRM, PLUS, Selangor and UKM. The stadium was closed in July 2011 due to the City Hall's reluctance to renovate the pitch. Starting in 2012, the stadium has also been used for rugby matches. It was used for the first match of the 2013 Media Prima 6 Regions, between Kelab Rakan Muda Malaysia and Singapore Cricket Club. Between 2013 and 2018, the stadium was renovated; after the renovation, it can accommodate 18,000 spectators. [4]

The stadium also hosted the final of the 2019 AFC Cup between North Korean club April 25 and Lebanese club Al-Ahed. [5]
