Sosan Stadium

About

Sŏsan Stadium (Hancha) is a football stadium in Pyongyang, North Korea. It is currently used mostly for football matches. The stadium holds 25,000 people, and was built by the North Korean army in 1988 for the 13th World Festival of Youth and Students. It lies next to Ryanggang Hotel which was completed around the same time in 1989. The stadium was modernised in 2011, receiving a new artificial turf pitch to FIFA standards, an electronic scoreboard, new seats for spectators, and an improved medical facility. The first round of the 2024–25 DPR Korea Premier Football League season was played at the Sŏsan Stadium.
