History

Petaling Jaya Stadium was opened in 1996 and has a capacity of 25,000. It was built in time for the 1998 Commonwealth Games and hosted the Games' rugby union matches. The stadium previously served as the home to MPPJ FC, the first club in Malaysian football competition to win the Malaysia Cup until its quietus in August 2006. [4] [5]

It was called MPPJ Stadium and MBPJ Stadium, after Petaling Jaya was granted a city status. Later on, it has been known as Petaling Jaya Stadium. [6] In 2011, the stadium was used as the start and finish line of the Petaling Jaya Half-Marathon. In 2013, popular show Asia's Next Top Model filmed its Cycle 2 Episode 4 at the MBPJ Stadium. [7] In February 2014, the stadium was used for the Sasuke Asean Open Cup 2014. [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]

In December 2016, PJ Rangers announced to adopt the stadium as their home ground for the 2017 season. [13] The city council has approved PJ Rangers and MISC-MIFA of stadium tenancy for 2017 season. The stadium was used for the 2018 AFC U-16 Championship. In early 2020, regarding the closure of Shah Alam Stadium, it became the home of the Malaysia Super League club Selangor. [14] [15] Following RM8 million repair and renovation works for Selangor's future participation in 2024–25 AFC Champions League Two, the stadium became all seated and the capacity reduced. [16] [17] [18]
