In 2003, the stadium was upgraded with full repair works such as all-season lawn, up-to-date sound facilities and new lockers for players. The electric scoreboard and lightings, sound facilities and convenient facilities are rated as good as those of the stadiums built to host the 2002 FIFA World Cup.[1]
