City Stadium

City Stadium is a sports complex in George Town with an athletic track encircling a football field and concrete spectator stands. The main covered grandstand provides seating capacity for around 20,000 people.

The facility was built by the British government in 1932 and remains one of the oldest functioning stadiums in Malaysia. Its formal opening in 1956 marked an important moment in the region's sporting history.

This facility serves as a major gathering place for football supporters and local sports enthusiasts who come together to watch matches. The cheering crowds and shared excitement during events shape the social fabric of the community.

The stadium is situated between Jalan Dato Kramat and Jalan Perak and can be reached by several bus lines. Check ahead to confirm if events are scheduled for the day you plan to visit.

The complex includes a dining area called Astaka Stadium Bandaraya where multiple food stalls serve Malaysian dishes. This food venue is built right into the sports complex and draws visitors who come to eat before or after watching matches.
