The stadium holds 30,000 people and was opened on 18 May 1989.[2][3] Since 2017, the stadium has been out of use as construction works are happening inside.[4] HistoryAs seen through satellite imagery, the stadium began undergoing renovations in 2017, when the running track and the pitch have been taken down, individual seats disassembled.
