Sarawak Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Kuching with four levels of seating and a capacity of 50,000 spectators. It has a manila grass football pitch with patented drainage, an electronic multimedia scoreboard and a synthetic running track. Completed in April 1997, it also holds 320 parking lots, gymnasiums, saunas and prayer rooms.

Sarawak Stadium was built in 1995 for the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship and completed in April 1997. It hosted the quarter-final between Brazil and Argentina, a match played by Thierry Henry, Juan Román Riquelme and Walter Samuel, among others. In 2016 it staged the inaugural AFC Solidarity Cup.

The stadium's name also honours Tan Sri Haji Adenan Satem, the Sarawak chief minister who died in office in 2017. Its stands have hosted the Borneo Sonic Music Festival in 2023 and 2024, and the 1998 Charity Shield between Sarawak FA and Selangor FA.
