## History

Choa Chu Kang stadium opened in 2001 and served as the home stadium from 2001 to 2014 and 2016 to 2018 for Warriors to play their S.League games.
In 2024, all 72 matches of the 2024 Women's Premier League (WPL) will be played at the stadium. After the opening matchday of the 2024 WPL, the pitch was criticised for its poor condition for having uneven and sandy surfaces and waterlogged on the next day after it had rained. It was also a temporary training ground for Albirex Niigata (S)men's and youth teams due to the returfing at Jurong East Stadium, their home ground. From 23 March, the stadium was closed for maintenance after complaints from the first matchdays of poor pitch conditions. On 8 April, it was announced that WPL matches would resume at the stadium from 14 April onwards but with only one matchday instead of two would be played at the stadium.

## Facilities and Structures

The football pitch itself consists of a self-watering "cell-system" turf pitch installation, supplied from Switzerland and approved by FIFA for international competition.
Other international competition standard facilities surrounding the stadium include a 50m Olympic swimming pool, a running track and athletics facilities, and a sports hall supporting indoor sports and activities.
The public can also access further outdoor facilities, such as tennis courts, petanque sandpits, street soccer pitches, as well as indoor facilities, including basketball and badminton courts, a gym and a dance training room.
The Sport Singapore operated Sports Complex also caters to local community recreational needs, with a range of fun-oriented pools, including a wave pool, waterslide, bubble pools, children's play pools.
A range of food outlets as of 2018, KFC and Pizza Hut previously occupied by Guilin Garden Restaurant, a childcare center, a sporting goods shop, and comfortable, relaxing public spaces help make this a community friendly sports and recreation facility.
Renovation works started in 2019 and is slated to be completed in 2030.

## Awards
