The Olympic Stadium

Vann Molyvann designed the National Sports Complex, built from 1963 and finished in 1964, and shaped the site by moving 500,000 m³ of earth; the stadium holds 30,000 people.2 It hosted the GANEFO games from 25 November to 6 December 1966.2

In November 1965, North Korea beat Australia there twice in World Cup qualifiers, before crowds of 60,000 and 55,000. A 2023 renovation fitted about 25,000 individual seats to meet FIFA and AFC rules.2

Residents use the grounds for daily exercise and football, and the swimming pools and diving boards, restored in 2017, open to the public every day.2 In the evening, a walk around the top of the stands is worthwhile.3
