The Shah Alam Stadium (Malay: Stadium Shah Alam) was a multi-purpose stadium, an architectural gem and one of the largest stadiums in the world[1] located in Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia. It was used mostly for football matches but also had facilities for athletics. The stadium was the official home of the Red Giants (Selangor) since 16 July 1994, and had a capacity of 80,372.[1]
Despite multiple renovation attempts over the years, the stadium was in a state of disrepair resulting from long-term neglect in maintenance.[2] In 2020, the Malaysian Football League (MFL) announced that the dilapidated stadium may be barred from hosting the Malaysia Super League matches, due to safety reasons arising from the stadium's polycarbonate roof and pitch being in a poor state. On 15 July 2022, the Menteri Besar of Selangor Amirudin Shari said that the Selangor government has appointed Malaysian Resources Corporation Berhad (MRCB) to refurbish the stadium and its surrounding sporting facilities which may cost up to RM787 million.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] [11] The demolition and the reconstruction works of the stadium will be carried out simultaneously starting from 1 July 2024, and it is expected to re-open in 2026 (Phase 1) before SUKMA Games.[12][13]
