The stadium was originally built in 1905 on land owned by the Donegall family.
The 2016 redevelopment removed the traditional terracing, replacing it with an all-seater configuration to comply with international safety regulations.
The site hosts the Irish Football Association Education and Heritage Centre, documenting the history of football in Northern Ireland.
The pitch dimensions measure 105 by 68 meters, adhering to FIFA international standards.
During World War II, the stadium was used by the military for storage and as a camp site.
The Clearer Water Stadium at Windsor Park serves as the primary home ground for the Northern Ireland national football team and Linfield FC. The venue features a seating capacity of approximately 18,500 across four distinct stands. Following a major multi-stage redevelopment completed in 2016, the stadium modernised its facilities to meet UEFA Category 4 standards. The site functions as the headquarters for the Irish Football Association. It is located in the south-west of Belfast. The stadium is purpose-built for football, eliminating the running tracks found in older multi-purpose arenas.
