Tuvalu Sports Ground, Stadium in Funafuti, Tuvalu.

Tuvalu Sports Ground is the national stadium of Tuvalu, located in Funafuti, with a main playing field and grandstands that can seat around 1,500 people. The playing surface is made of river clay brought in from Fiji, laid over a base of coral.

The Tuvalu Islands Football Association has sought FIFA membership since 1987, but the lack of training grounds and hotels for visiting teams has blocked the bid. The field lies on the widest part of Funafuti's coral atoll, with river clay shipped from Fiji to form a grass surface. In 2008 a 40 kW grid-connected solar array was installed on the grandstand roof by the E8 and Japan's Kansai Electric, supplying about 1% of Funafuti's electricity.

All national football competitions are played here: the A-Division, the Independence Cup, the NBT Cup, the Tuvalu Games and the Christmas Cup, so every club in the country plays its home games at this ground. The national team trains here but has never played an international match in Tuvalu. Some games have drawn at least 200 spectators.

The ground sits close to the center of Funafuti and can be reached easily on foot from most parts of the main island. When attending events, bring water and sun protection, as the heat can be strong even in the shade.

The roof of the stadium carries a solar panel system that feeds electricity into Funafuti's power grid, not just powers the venue itself. This means the stadium doubles as part of the island's energy infrastructure.
