The Somhlolo National Stadium is a multi-purpose arena in Lobamba , Swaziland . The stadium, which was built in 1968, is currently mainly used for football matches and can seat 20,000 spectators.

The name is reminiscent of Somhlolo († 1839), who as Chief Sobhuza I is regarded as the founding father of Swaziland. He had led his Nkhosi Dlamini clan to the Lobamba area, took power there and secured the sovereignty that led to independence in 1968.
