National Stadium, Sports complex in Brookfields neighborhood, Freetown, Sierra Leone.
The National Stadium stands as the primary sports facility in Sierra Leone, featuring a football field and athletics track with seating for 45,000 spectators.
Chinese engineers constructed the stadium in 1980 after Sierra Leone supported China's bid for United Nations Security Council permanent representation.
The venue serves as Sierra Leone's central location for international football matches, athletic competitions, musical performances, and presidential inaugurations.
Access to the stadium is available through the main entrance off Main Motor Road near the UE Building, with ticket prices varying from 5,000 to 500,000 leones.
The stadium complex includes an empty Olympic swimming pool with standing springboards and a recreational pool where local martial artists practice their disciplines.
