Pago Park Soccer Stadium, Soccer stadium in Pago Pago, American Samoa.
Pago Park Soccer Stadium is a sports venue in Pago Pago with capacity for about 2,000 spectators and features seating areas, team facilities, and a marked playing field. The facility is designed to support regular soccer matches and local competitions.
A FIFA Goal Project funded a new pitch and administration offices at the site in 2007. The stadium was severely damaged by the 2009 tsunami, then rebuilt and reopened in January 2011 by FIFA President Sepp Blatter at a ceremony.
Pago Park hosts every match of the FFAS Senior League, American Samoa's top division, and has also staged OFC Champions League fixtures. The national team's training sessions there were filmed for the 2014 documentary Next Goal Wins, which follows the team's hunt for a first international win.
The stadium sits in the central area of Pago Pago and is accessible via main roads, making it easy for visitors to reach. It is helpful to check ahead about match schedules to ensure the venue is in use.
The stadium appears in the 2014 film Next Goal Wins, which documents the American Samoa team's attempt at a first international win; it is shown as the training ground ahead of the 2011 Pacific Games and 2014 World Cup qualifiers.
