History
The stadium was originally built in the time of the Soviet Union for the training of athletes in highland conditions.[1] In 2019, the Uzbekistan women's national football team defeated Nepal at the stadium in the final of the inaugural Nadezhda Cup.[3][4]
In December 2022 it was announced that the stadium would undergo a total reconstruction with a cost of 23.8 million Kyrgyz soms.[5] Construction was well underway as of summer 2024 with an updated cost of 342 million soms for the expanded project which included two adjacent training fields.[6] The project, which also included installing fencing and new lighting, was expected to be complete by fall 2024.[1]
In late 2024, it was announced that the stadium would become the home venue of Kyrgyz Premier League club FC Bars Issyk-Kul beginning with the 2025 season.[7]
