History

The venue was built on the site that used to be an equestrianism center of Hanoi during the French occupation period in late 19th and early 20th century. Its current name "Quần Ngựa" (horse riding court) derived from the site's equestrian origin.[1] It opened in 2003 in time for the 22nd Southeast Asian Games.
