Japan officially handed over Chao Anouvong Stadium to the Lao PDR on October 12, marking the completion of its construction and renovation project and the transfer of responsibility for the facility’s management and security.
The handover ceremony took place on the first floor of the stadium in Vientiane, attended by officials from Laos and Japan.
Renovation and construction work began in early 2025, upgrading the stadium’s facilities to support sporting competitions, athlete training and related activities.
The stadium has several seating areas, including a main spectator section with a capacity of 2,800 people, a VIP section for 1,300 people and another section near the office of the Lao National Olympic Committee accommodating 1,500 people.
The facility has also been designed to accommodate both able-bodied athletes and athletes with disabilities, with accessibility features intended to meet the needs of different users.
Supporting facilities include offices, meeting and media rooms, restrooms, a dining hall for up to 100 people, a gym and fitness room, and equipment storage areas.
The completion and handover of Chao Anouvong Stadium are expected to strengthen Laos’ sports infrastructure and provide improved facilities for athletes, sporting events and other sports-related activities.
