The inaugural round of Pro League matches took place on 31 March 1999 with four clubs hosting the opening fixtures.
After Trinidad and Tobago was awarded the 2001 FIFA U-17 World Championship, the country constructed four football-specific stadiums named after the country's all-time leading sportsmen: Ato Boldon, Dwight Yorke, Larry Gomes, and Manny Ramjohn.
The four stadiums again played host to an international football competition with the 2010 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup.
Moreover, with the seating expansion the stadium is now the largest in the country with a capacity of 27,000 and serves as the current home to Morvant Caledonia United, Defence Force, Police, and St. Ann's Rangers.
The Macoya-based stadium was built and opened in 1996 with a 6,000 spectator capacity and is housed together with the Dr. João Havelange Centre of Excellence.
