History

The stadium was built in 1997 by international technical company Mensel JV. Since opening, it has served as the home arena of Köpetdag Aşgabat.

In 2015 the stadium underwent radical reconstruction and reopened for the cup match played between Köpetdag and FC Merw.

The stadium now features a natural grass football field. Surrounding it are synthetic rubber running tracks, sectors for long and high jumps, and training areas. The stadium's lighting meets FIFA standards, enabling television broadcasts. The sports complex also includes outdoor courts for team ball games and a training field.
