This world-class stadium was built with modern track and field amenities and can accommodate a maximum of 100,000 spectators.

The National Aquatic Centre was constructed under the stringent adherence to the guidelines of the International Swimming Federation and boasts a 10-lane Olympic-size pool and other high-tech features.

Measuring 76,000 sq metres, the National Stadium Bukit Jalil, dubbed the most prominent building at the Bukit Jalil National Sports Complex, is a bowl shaped complex boasting three spectator tiers.

Every aspect of the National Stadium Bukit Jalil structure is built based on careful planning and quality material. The roof for instance, is made of polyurethane. This gives the stadium a translucent touch besides protecting it from fungus.
