History
Cambodian Prime Minister
Phase 1 of the complex's construction was completed on April 4, 2017 with the inauguration of the Indoor Stadium and Aquatics Center. It also marked the beginning of phase 2 which saw the groundbreaking ceremony for the National Stadium.[3]
Plan
The current plans include six arenas and a huge weights training gym for up to 1,500 athletes. The 60,000-seat main stadium will cover a plot of nine hectares and house a football pitch and running track.
A multipurpose indoor stadium on 3.6 hectares will seat 15,000 spectators while a swimming centre on a similarly sized parcel of land will be able to accommodate 6,000 people.
There is also a proposed 3,700-seat badminton and table tennis hall, a 3,700-seat gymnastics and traditional sports hall and a 3,000-seat sports hall for basketball, volleyball and futsal.
Also in the mix are plans for four six-storey blocks of offices and four eight-storey blocks to accommodate athletes, which will include 400 rooms and two eating halls.
