history

The multifunctional stadium was built for the 1998 Asian Games . It is only covered on the main stand side. It has a large video screen and an athletics facility . In addition to the 1998 Asian Games, the 2004 Women's U-19 World Cup , the 2007 Asian Football Championship and the 2007 Universiade took place in the Rajamangala Stadium . The stadium is also used for the home games of the Thai national soccer team .

The National Sports Museum is located inside the stadium. In addition to many other exhibits, there are memorabilia from the sporting career of the late Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej , who won the gold medal at the Southeast Asian Games in 1967 .

On December 10, 2004, Bakery Music, a record company from Thailand, celebrated its 10th anniversary. It was the first time that a concert of this magnitude was held at the Rajamangala Stadium. The concert lasted seven hours and 94 songs were performed.

The stadium was renovated for the 2007 Asian football championship and converted into a fully seated stadium. Since then it has seated up to 49,749 spectators.

Until the construction of the Rajamangala, the Suphachalasai Stadium was the national stadium of Thailand. For this reason, the Bangkok Skytrain stop at Suphachalasai is still called the “National Stadium” today . The Rajamangala National Stadium is not connected to the Skytrain or the Bangkok Metro network. Ramkhamhaeng University and Assumption University (ABAC) are very close by .

During the 2011 floods in Thailand , homeless people were housed in the stadium. The stadium was one of four venues for the 2012 ASEAN soccer championship .

On December 15 and 16, 2012, the Race of Champions took place in the Rajamangala National Stadium.
