History
editThe stadium was built in 2002 with the support of FIFA's football 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 construction finishing 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 the Prime Minister of Nepal in February 2023.[7]
