Shah Alam Stadium, Multi-purpose sports venue in Shah Alam, Malaysia.
Shah Alam Stadium is a multi-purpose sports venue in Shah Alam, Malaysia, with six semi-enclosed levels and a prominent free-standing arc structure. The seating areas hold more than 80,000 people and wrap around a central playing field.
Construction began on 1 January 1990 at a cost of RM469 million, and the stadium was officially opened on 16 July 1994 with an invitational tournament in which Selangor drew 1-1 with Dundee United. It hosted its first Malaysia Cup final in December 1994, when Singapore FA beat Pahang FA 4-0. Closed in 2020 over the dilapidated roof and pitch, it was demolished between 1 July 2024 and 27 January 2025.
The stadium served as the primary venue for Selangor FC matches until 2020, drawing thousands of local supporters during Malaysian football competitions.
The stadium no longer exists: demolition began on 1 July 2024 and the main structure was fully torn down on 27 January 2025 at 10:30 am. The site in eastern Shah Alam is being rebuilt in three phases, with the first phase, including the new stadium, an integrated terminal, a parking plaza, a recreation area and training pitches, due before SUKMA Selangor 2027. A shopping complex and indoor theatre are planned for 2028, a hotel for 2029–2030.
The stadium's frame formed the longest free-standing arc in the world, and its design copied Hajduk Split's Poljud stadium in Croatia. A go-kart circuit also operated at the site, and part of the venue once housed the performing arts faculty of Universiti Teknologi MARA.
