[2] In 1970, the stadium was rebuilt by the Royal Engineers as a sports ground for use by both the military forces and the civilian population of Gibraltar.

[5] The redevelopment of the stadium began in 2023, with the national team announcing they will play UEFA and FIFA games in Faro, Portugal.

[9] Prior to membership of FIFA, it had been used as the Gibraltar national football team's home ground for unofficial internationals.

This was owing to an increase in the number of Gibraltarian representatives in the competitions and due to failing a UEFA pitch inspection.

An alternative plan for replacement of Victoria Stadium was put forward for a new stadium to be built at Lathbury Barracks however the Gibraltar Ornithological and Natural History Society opposed this citing that the Ministry of Defence would have to give up land that had been designated by the European Union Habitats Directive as a Special Area of Conservation for the proposed site.

[5] The proposed new stadium sites at Lathbury and Europa Point would be developed into multi-sports facilities by the Government of Gibraltar.

[18] In January 2018, it was announced that due to the Gibraltar Music Festival being held at the stadium that year, football games in August and September would be played at Lathbury Barracks.

[24] Since 2013, the stadium has annually hosted the Gibraltar Darts Trophy as part of the PDC's European Tour.
