The stadium was opened on June 16, 1929.

During the 2006 World Cup, the stadium served as a training facility for both the Swedish and Brazilian national teams.

For the World Athletics Championships in 2009, the stadium was given a new running track in blue color as well as a renewed throwing facility and served as a training facility for foreign athletes during the World Championships. The stadium was also selected by the German Football Association as a training stadium for the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup.
