The New Laos National Stadium is a modern multi-purpose stadium in Vientiane Prefecture built to host national and regional sporting events. It forms part of Laos’s national sports complex.

The venue accommodates football matches and track and field competitions and includes spectator seating and supporting facilities. It is used for national team fixtures, domestic competitions and large-scale sporting events.

The stadium was developed in the 2000s as part of infrastructure upgrades for regional sport and national events. It replaced earlier facilities and established a modern venue for athletics and football in the capital region.

Located in Vientiane Prefecture, the stadium sits within the capital area and is accessible from the city by road.

• Primary uses: Constructed as part of the national sports complex for major regional events and used for football and athletics competitions.

The New Laos National Stadium is inside Vientiane city (Vientiane Prefecture). The simplest way to reach it is by taxi, tuk‑tuk or motorcycle taxi from Vientiane city centre or from Wattay International Airport - it is a short city drive and normally reachable in under 20 minutes depending on traffic. On event days taxis and informal shuttle services commonly serve the stadium; reliable scheduled bus line information is limited, so use a taxi or ride service if you need a guaranteed connection.

• Check the stadium's event schedule before you go-public access is often limited to match days or organised events, and non-event entry may require contacting stadium management or a local tour operator in advance.
• Visit in the late afternoon when temperatures drop and any team training or smaller events are more likely to be visible; this also reduces midday heat common in Vientiane.
• Use a tuk‑tuk or taxi to reach the complex rather than relying on infrequent public buses, and allow extra time for routine security checks at the main entrance on event days.
