Kuala Lumpur Stadium

The **Kuala Lumpur Stadium** sits in the Cheras district, within the Bandar Tun Razak township. It is distinct from the larger Bukit Jalil National Stadium and Stadium Merdeka, which share the city’s sporting map.

The venue was originally constructed in the early 1980s, though no exact opening year is documented in primary sources; it was originally named Cheras Football Stadium. The playing surface is natural grass, specifically identified as 'cow grass' (Axonopus compressus). The stadium underwent a major renovation project from 2013 to 2018, costing approximately RM50 million, which modernized facilities, upgraded seating, and improved ventilation.

The venue is owned and managed by the Kuala Lumpur Football Association (KLFA), which also serves as the primary tenant alongside Kuala Lumpur Rovers FC. The capacity is 18,000 spectators, a figure confirmed by multiple sources including Wikipedia and local news reports following the 2018 completion of renovations; the pre-renovation capacity is not explicitly stated in available records, though one outlier source suggests 10,000.
