The stadium had been undergoing upgradation work in accordance with the FIFA guidelines after it was chosen as one of the venues for the U-17 Women’s World Cup but persistent showers have delayed construction work significantly. This means that the pitch remains unfit for hosting an ISL match.

But the franchise has been assured that it will be ready before December 16. Odisha FC’s home matches before that date are on November 24 (ATK), December 4 (Bengaluru FC) and on December 11 (Hyderabad FC). They then host Jamshedpur FC on December 27.
