[1] In November 2002, the old stadium was demolished and the new stadium was opened in August 2003 and it was renamed as the New George V Stadium. It was used in the Indian Ocean Island Games in 2003 and has been the national team's home ground ever since. However, some matches are also played at the Anjalay Stadium.
