History
In September 2011, the stadium hosted a friendly football match between the Under-23 teams of Bangladesh and Nepal, to prepare for the Asian Games. More than 50,000 viewers entered the stadium premises forcibly, by breaking the main entrance of the stadium.[2]
The stadium has hosted the 2015 SAFF U-16 Championship where Bangladesh clinched the title and some matches of the 2015 Bangabandhu Cup.[3]
Almost a half-month long renovation which started on 20 September was done for the stadium for the 2018 Bangabandhu Cup. New colours were shed on gallery, the dressing rooms were upgraded, and digital boards were installed in the stadium. 190 new bulbs were added to four floodlight stands; all of which had 400 bulbs prior to the upgrade.[3]
