Bogambara Stadium, Multi-purpose stadium in Kandy, Sri Lanka.
The Bogambara Stadium extends across a large field with capacity for 30,000 spectators, featuring modern sporting facilities and dedicated seating areas.
The stadium grounds transformed from a lake to a playing field in 1897, serving multiple purposes including executions during the British colonial period.
Local sports clubs and schools utilize the stadium for cricket, football, rugby, and traditional Sri Lankan sports like elle and bahu.
The Sports Ministry maintains ownership of the facility while the municipal council manages operations and sets usage fees for various sporting events.
In 1997, an investment of 89 million rupees modernized the stadium infrastructure to meet international standards through the Kandy District Sports Development Foundation.
