Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium, Sports stadium in Paroi, Malaysia
Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium is a sports facility in Paroi designed for athletics and football events with a seating capacity of 40,000 spectators. The venue features grandstand sections with multiple entrance gates, parking areas, and food service options during competitions.
The stadium opened in 1992 on land that once served as a military installation and airstrip during the Malayan Emergency. This transformation repurposed a historically significant site into a modern sporting facility for the region.
The stadium is named after Malaysia's first Yang di-Pertuan Agong, honoring royal tradition alongside the nation's commitment to sports. It serves as a gathering place where local and regional athletic competitions bring people together.
The stadium offers multiple entrance points making it accessible from different directions and has dedicated parking areas for visitors. Food vendors operate throughout the venue during events, so you can find refreshments without needing to plan ahead.
Syria's national football team played their 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying home matches here due to their domestic situation at that time. This unusual arrangement demonstrates how the stadium became important as an international sporting venue.
