Kim Il-sung Stadium, Multi-purpose stadium in central Pyongyang, North Korea
The Kim Il-sung Stadium features white concrete tiers surrounding a green artificial turf field, accommodating 70,000 spectators for athletic competitions and events.
Originally called Kirimri Stadium during Japanese occupation, the facility opened in 1926 and received its current name in 1982 after extensive renovations.
The stadium serves as both starting and finishing point for the Pyongyang Marathon while regularly holding national football matches throughout the year.
The stadium received FIFA-approved artificial turf in 2002, enabling year-round operations regardless of weather conditions in the North Korean capital.
International football matches faced restrictions when South Korean teams visited, leading to venue changes due to rules about national symbols display.
