History The stadium was opened on April 19, 1995. The stadium's first match was held between "FC Caspiy" and "Elimay".

In 2014, the authorities announced a possible transfer of the Zhas Kanat Stadium into private hands which caused a lot of indignation among parents of children training at the stadium, as well as among the coaches of the sports departments.

The Kazakhstan Football Federation banned championship and cup matches at the stadium in early 2017 because of its inappropriate surface. Subsequently FC Caspiy had to play the home matches in Shymkent. The refurbishment began on 18 April 2018 and was completed in August 2018. The renovation increased the capacity of the Stadium from 4,500 to 5,000. On 17 August 2018, the first training session took place on the renovated area. On 11 September 2018, the Kazakhstan Football Federation lifted the ban. FC Caspiy played its first match in the renovated stadium on 23 September against the club FC Kairat from Almaty. However, in April 2019, another inspection found that the stadium did not meet the requirements of the Kazakhstan Premier League Championship.
