Despite multiple renovation attempts over the years, the stadium is currently in a state of disrepair resulting from long-term neglect in maintenance. In 2020, the Malaysian Football League (MFL) announced that the dilapidated stadium may be barred from hosting Malaysia Super League matches, due to safety reasons arising from the stadium's polycarbonate roof and pitch being in a poor state. On 15 July 2022, the Menteri Besar of Selangor, Amirudin Shari, stated said the Selangor government has appointed Malaysian Resources Corporation Berhad (MRCB) to that refurbish the stadium and its surrounding sporting facilities may cost up to RM787 million, will be started in early 2023.
