The stadium was built with the help of the Chinese government and opened in 1970. This was China's first stadium project in Africa and the beginning of its decades of “stadium diplomacy”.
The stadium hosted a ceremony on February 5, 1977, at which the Afro-Shirazi Party and the Tanganyika African National Union were merged into the Chama Cha Mapinduzi . Amani Abeid Karume was sworn in as President of Zanzibar on November 8, 2000.
The stadium was renovated with Chinese help and reopened in 2010.
