As scheduled, more than VND 44 billion will be pumped into upgrading two roads leading to the stadium, expanding the memorial site of Uncle Ho and the two sides of the stadium platform with 4,300 seats, building auxiliary systems for water provision and drainage, fire prevention and control, lighting and lightning protection.

On September 25, 1958, a governmental mission led by President Ho Chi Minh paid a working visit to the province. At the platform of Yen Bai town stadium, the President had a talk with local cadres, party members and ethnic minority people. Since then, the place has witnessed a number of the socio-political events of the province. In 1988, the historical site of the Yen Bai city stadium’s platform was recognized as a national historical relic.
