The Lao National Stadium (SL) was built about 17 km from the center of Vientiane in 2009, the year the country hosted the 25th SEA Games. The stadium has a capacity of about 25,000 seats. At the regional games, the SL was chosen as the venue for football matches, athletics events as well as the opening and closing ceremonies.
After that, the Laos National Stadium was also chosen as the home stadium of the Laos team in the AFF Cup. Two years ago, the Vietnam team defeated this team with a score of 6-0, thanks to goals from Nguyen Tien Linh, Do Hung Dung, Ho Tan Tai, Doan Van Hau, Nguyen Van Toan and Vu Van Thanh. At that time, the Laos National Stadium was somewhat degraded, old and the playing field was not of very good quality.
But now, the condition of the Lao National Stadium has improved a lot in many areas. Specifically, the lighting system is brighter, the benches are newly painted and the grass is quite nice.
The national stadium grass is now of better quality.
Laos National Stadium "lights up" in a qualifying match for the Southeast Asian Women's Football Championship
Therefore, the Lao National Stadium was chosen to host the qualifying round of the 2025 Southeast Asian Women's Football Championship, taking place from November 23 to December 5 with the participation of 6 teams including Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore and Timor Leste. The 4 semi-finalists will participate in the final round, where the women's teams of Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar and the Philippines are waiting. In addition, in the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup, the Lao National Stadium was chosen as the home ground of the North Korean team for many sensitive reasons. That shows that the quality of the Lao National Stadium has now met AFC standards.
At the AFF Cup 2024, the Vietnamese team will have their opening match in the group stage against Laos on away ground. The audience expects the Vietnamese team to play well and win to have a favorable start for the journey to regain the AFF Cup 2024 throne. This match will take place at 8:00 p.m. on December 9.
