Built on the banks of the Hàn River in 1954, the stadium played host to a number of memorable games, most notably Vietnam's 3–2 win over China at the 2000 AFC U-17 Championship, featuring goals from future star Phạm Văn Quyến.[1]
The stadium was also used for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2016 Asian Beach Games.
The stadium was the home stadium of SHB Đà Nẵng of the V-League until 2016, when the club moved to the Hòa Xuân Stadium. The stadium was to be demolished in early 2018 to make way for two 33-story apartment complexes,[2] but that effectively never happened and as of today, the stadium lies in an abandoned state, with trees growing in the stands.[3]
