In 1993, After Somali Minister of Youth and Sports, Mire Aware Jama was killed in a car accident on the Garowe-Bosaso Highway. In honor of his legacy, the Garowe football stadium was named Mire Aware Stadium, boasting a capacity of 30,000 attendees.

On January 15, 2023, the Mire Aware Stadium was closed due to a conflict between the two officials on its management. The disagreement involves a clash between the mayor of Garowe, Geeddi Ahmed Tuurre, and the chairman of the Puntland Football Federation, Mohamed Irro, as sourced by Puntland Post. [2]
