It was formerly the home ground for FC Ebedei before they moved to their own stadium in Sagamu. [1]

During the 2024–25 Nigeria Premier Football League season, Sunshine Stars F.C. relocated there temporarily while their home ground in Ondo State was being renovated. [2]

The stadium has a capacity of 20,000 people. It was renovated for the 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup.

The stadium was renamed in 2011 after Otunba Dipo Dina, an assassinated political candidate. [3]
