The Bukit Jalil National Stadium (Malay: Stadium Nasional Bukit Jalil, Jawi: ستاديوم ناسيونل بوکيت جليل) is a multi-purpose stadium in Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. With a capacity of 87,500, it is the largest stadium in Southeast Asia, the fourth largest in Asia, and the fifteenth largest in the world.
It was officially inaugurated by then Prime Minister of Malaysia Mahathir Mohamad on 11 July 1998, ahead of the 1998 Commonwealth Games and staged its opening ceremony. Since then, it has become the main venue for other international events, such as the 2001 Southeast Asian Games and the 2017 Southeast Asian Games. Nowadays it hosts most of the Malaysian international football matches, national level competition finals such as the Malaysia FA Cup, Malaysia Cup, athletic events and concerts.
It was built alongside other sport venues in the National Sports Complex by the United Engineers Malaysia, and designed by Arkitek FAA, Weidleplan Consulting GMBH and Schlaich Bergermann Partner. A membrane structure is used for the roof, and most of the materials were reinforced concrete. Prior to this stadium, Stadium Merdeka served as the national stadium of Malaysia.
