Olympic Stadium, Multi-purpose sports stadium in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

The Olympic Stadium features a large concrete grandstand with a decorative roof connecting to an indoor hall that accommodates 8,000 spectators.

The stadium construction required moving 500,000 cubic meters of earth to create its structure, completing the project between 1963 and 1964.

The design by Vann Molyvann incorporates traditional Khmer architectural elements with modern functionality, reflecting Cambodia's national identity in the 1960s.

The facility maintains open access for daily exercise sessions and community activities, while hosting national sporting events and concerts throughout the year.

During the 1965 World Cup qualifiers between North Korea and Australia, local authorities required half the audience to support Australia for neutrality.
