Veterans Memorial Stadium, multisport venue in American Samoa
Veterans Memorial Stadium is a multi-purpose sports venue in Tafuna, Pago Pago, with capacity for around 5,000 people. The grass field serves both as a playing surface and as a traditional gathering ground, hosting soccer, rugby, and American football matches regularly.
The stadium was built between 1996 and 1997 and officially opened in 1997. Since then, it has served as a central point for sports competitions and important community gatherings throughout American Samoa.
The stadium honors those who served in the military, and this memorial aspect shapes how locals view the place. During community events like flag day celebrations, people gather here to share performances and ceremonies that reflect their traditions.
The stadium is located in Tafuna and is easy to reach by foot from different parts of town. The area is safe and welcoming, making it a comfortable destination for watching games and attending community events.
The field is located on what locals call Malae o Lupelele, a traditional gathering ground rooted in the nearby Ili'ili village's history. This connection to local customs gives the sports venue a deeper cultural layer beyond athletic competition.
