The Bhutan Olympic Committee instigated a major sport venue construction project in 2016 which included the insertion of multiple additions to the stadium.

[2] Opened to the public in summer 2011, the field was previously prepared for paddy transplantations by the local footballers.

A considerable sum of 9.8 million Bhutanese ngultrums was provided in assistance to the project from the Asian Development Bank.
