History

After the death of Grand Archduke Kirby I in 2005, a stadium in his honor was proposed. Anila City had long wanted another major stadium and submitted a strong bid for the stadium, rivaled only by Nemnenait. Anila City ultimately won by a narrow 6-5 vote by the FFSA Board. The stadium regularly hosts World Cup qualification matches for Sel Appa.
