Mong Kok Stadium, Sports stadium in Mong Kok, Hong Kong.
Mong Kok Stadium is a football ground at 37 Flower Market Road in Mong Kok, next to the Flower Market. Four stands of 1,666 seats each give a capacity of 6,664, with a natural grass pitch lit to 1,200 lux and a 9.28 m by 5.76 m LED scoreboard. The 2011 rebuild added light canopy roofs over the north and south stands, 42 wheelchair seats and four team changing rooms.
The facility began as an Army Sports Ground and came under Urban Council control in 1961, operating as Municipal Stadium until 1973. It then received its current name and has since served as an established football venue.
The stadium's nickname, Mong Kok Field, and its location beside the Flower Market and the Yuen Po Street Bird Garden shape match days, when crowds fill the streets around the ground. Its opening on 16 June 1973 was marked by a youth football kick-off for the Summer Cup, and the venue has since hosted the Hong Kong interport match against Macau and the annual rallies of the Hong Kong Road Safety Patrol, the Boys' Brigade and the Girl Guides.
The stadium is located near Prince Edward MTR station and is easily accessible by public transportation. It is advisable to arrive early to secure good seating, especially during popular matches.
The absence of an athletic track around the playing field brings spectators much closer to the action than at other Hong Kong stadiums. This close proximity creates a more intense connection between fans and the game unfolding on the pitch.
