Nation Stadium is an indoor arena located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Nation Stadium is located about 2 kilometers from Kuala Lumpur City Centre, next to the Independence Stadium and Merdeka 118 building.
The stadium, which has 10,000 permanent seats, is fully air conditioned and is capable of housing many different types of events, including sports events and concerts.[1]
The construction of the stadium began in 1960 and it was officially opened on 10 April 1962 by the third Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Tuanku Syed Putra.[2] It was the first indoor stadium in Malaysia.[3]
The stadium has been renovated thrice, in 1982, 1985 and 2015.
For most major indoor events in Kuala Lumpur, the Stadium Negara has largely been supplanted in use by the Axiata Arena (in terms of modernity and capacity).
