presentation area, electronic turnstiles and television gantry. Yuen Long chairman Wilson Wong revealed that the club will play their home games on other grounds during the revamp. However as of January 2018, the project has yet to begin due to a dispute between the LCSD and the Yuen Long District Council over the East Stand. While the LCSD submitted plans which included a rebuilt West Stand, it did not include plans to provide a roof over the East Stand. The District Council have insisted that they will not approve any plans without a roof over the East Stand. In September 2019, plans to build a roof over the East Stand were finally approved and redevelopment of the stadium is scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2021. On 11 April 2022, the Home Affairs Bureau submitted new redevelopment plans to the Finance Committee for approval. The project is estimated to cost $1.527 billion and will expand Yuen Long Stadium's capacity to 6,000, increase the number of parking spaces to 104, and include the provision of ancillary facilities to make the stadium compliant with Asian Football Confederation requirements. Once approval is granted, the project is slated to be completed in four years.
