It quickly established itself as the country's foremost football venue, hosting UAE national team fixtures and AFC competitions. The stadium underwent significant renovation works over the decades to modernise its facilities and increase capacity. It has welcomed high-profile international football including AFC Asian Cup matches and FIFA World Cup qualifying ties, cementing its status as the UAE's flagship stadium.
