Setsoto Stadium

Setsoto Stadium, National stadium in Maseru, Lesotho

Setsoto Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Maseru, Lesotho, used mostly for football. Its capacity is listed at 13,900, and it was the home ground of the Lesotho national football team until FIFA condemned the stadium in 2021. Renovations begun in 2010–2011 were halted in June 2024 when costs rose from M20 million to M70 million.

The stadium was renovated and enlarged in 2010–2011. On 31 October 1997 it hosted the coronation of King Letsie III, attended by Prince Charles of Wales. FIFA condemned the ground in 2021, forcing the national team to play home games abroad. Renovations begun in 2024 stalled over funding, and in April 2025 the government announced an M85 million plan to raise capacity to 25,000 by October 2026.

FIFA condemned the ground in 2021, so the national team has since played its home games outside Lesotho. The stadium hosted its first top-flight match in many years in March 2026. In August 2017 it was the venue for the wedding of former Prime Minister Tom Thabane and Maesiah Thabane.

The stadium stands in Maseru, Lesotho's capital. FIFA condemned the ground in 2021, so the national team plays its home games outside the country; check whether any fixture is actually held here before travelling. Renovation work begun after 2024 has been slow and costly, and in February 2025 the ground was still in disrepair.

The venue served as the setting for a notable wedding ceremony involving prominent political figures in 2017. This unexpected use demonstrates how the stadium adapts to host diverse national occasions beyond sports.
