Chyasal Stadium (previously known as Chyasal ANFA Technical Football Center) is a multi-purpose stadium in the Chyasal neighborhood of Lalitpur city in Nepal's Bagmati Province. It is mainly used for football matches and has a grass playing surface. ^[3]

History

The stadium was built in 2002 with the support of FIFA's football development project in South Asia. ^[4] In 2017, the National Sports Council decided to upgrade the training grounds into a functional football stadium, ^[5] with construction finishing in 2021. ^[2]

The stadium was supposed to host regular matches of the Martyr's Memorial A-Division League ^[6] for the 2021–22 season, but only saw its first league game after renovation during the 2023 season, where it hosted regular matches after its re-inauguration by the Prime Minister of Nepal in February 2023. ^[7]
