History
In 1993, After Somali Minister of Youth and Sports, Mire Aware Jama tragically lost his life in a car accident on the Garowe-Bosaso Highway. In honor of his legacy, the Garowe football stadium was subsequently named Mire Aware Stadium, boasting a capacity of 30,000 attendees.
On January 15, 2023, the Mire Aware Stadium was closed due to a conflict between the two officials on its management. The disagreement involves a clash between the mayor of Garowe, Geeddi Ahmed Tuurre, and the chairman of the Puntland Football Federation, Mohamed Irro, as sourced by Puntland Post.{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=2023-01-28 |title=Garoowe: Garoonka kubadda Cagta Mire Awaare oo khilaaf u xirmay |url=https://puntlandpost.net/2023/01/28/garoowe-garoonka-kubadda-cagta-mire-awaare-oo-khilaaf-u-xirmay/ |access-date=2024-01-15 |website=Puntland Post |language=en-US}}
