[1] Originally a piece of vacant land next to Shui Bin Village, the stadium was built by the Yuen Long District Sports Association with local support.

From the 1970s to 1980, the stadium had been the home ground for Yuen Long, who were playing at the Hong Kong First Division before withdrawing from the top tier after the 1979-80 season.

In September 2008, after reaching an agreement with the away side, TSW Pegasus requested to play their home game against South China on 5 October at Yuen Long Stadium, which was approved by the HKFA.

It was arranged that the league tie between Mutual and Citizen on the same match day would also be moved to this stadium,[3] which was later scheduled to host two more TSW Pegasus home games in the second half of the season.

[4] TSW Pegasus chairman Wilson Wong and the HKFA officials visited the ground on 17 September 2008 to explore the possibility for hosting more league matches at Yuen Long Stadium during the season.

[5] The ground was scheduled to host two First Division fixtures on 5 October, with Mutual against Citizen kick-off at 12:30 and TSW Pegasus against South China at 16:00.

[10] In October 2013, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department announced plans to redevelop the stadium to fulfil requirements for hosting international matches.

[13] In September 2019, plans to build a roof over the East Stand were finally approved and redevelopment of the stadium is scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2021.

The nearest MTR station is Long Ping on the West Rail line, which is about ten to fifteen minutes walk from the stadium.
