When it was completed, FC St. Gallen had just been relegated to the Challenge League. The first match in the new stadium was played on 30 May 2008 when Switzerland won against Liechtenstein 3:0 (18,000 spectators). The official inauguration was held on 5 July 2008.

Starting July 2012, the Kybunpark was the temporary home of FC Wil, while the second division side built its own new stadium to meet Swiss Football League requirements.

The Kybunpark is also used for international games between national football teams, such as Brazil or Spain.[2]
