The stadium was opened in 1965 in the Sulaimaniyah district of Aleppo. It is owned and operated by the Aleppo directorate of the Ministry of Education.^[1]

The stadium is mostly used for football matches of the Syrian 3rd division.^{[citation needed]}

During the Syrian Civil War, the stadium hosted all of the domestic matches of the football clubs in Aleppo who compete in the Syrian football league system, as it was the only stadium in the city not damaged during the war events, being located in a relatively secured neighborhood.^{[citation needed]}
