History

Lach Tray Stadium was built in 1957 from a horse farm. That same year, the Hai Phong team competed in the second round with teams from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Phnom Penh.
In 1959, the stands were replaced by cement and covered roofs in the stands.
In 1963, there took place a one-table match in the Football League of the Socialist Republic of Poland, Czechoslovakia, North Korea and Vietnam 2.
In 1972, when the United States sent bombers bombing the North in general and Hai Phong in particular, the rooms of two stands A and B were used by the Hai Phong hospital as a rescue.
In 1977, the yard was rebuilt with the reconstruction of the stands, with four lights for football matches in the evening. Lach Tray Stadium was renamed to Central Stadium.
After this renovation, Lach Tray yard was repaired several times in 1995 and 2003.
In addition to football and track and field, many other sports competitions as well as major cultural events are held on the stadium.
In addition to the Hai Phong football club, other teams of Hai Phong also used to make their home such as Hai Phong Electricity, Cam River Chemicals, Hai Phong Port, Hai Phong Cement, Hai Phong Construction and Military Region 3.
