Changlimithang Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Thimphu,Bhutan,which serves as the national stadium of Bhutan. It is predominantly used for football matches and is the home of the Bhutan national football team,other national selections and a number of Thimphu-based football clubs. The stadium also regularly plays host to women's football,archery tournaments,minifootball and some volleyball matches. The stadium was initially constructed in 1974 for the coronation of the fourth King of Bhutan,Jigme Singye Wangchuck,but was completely refurbished in 2007 in advance of the coronation of Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck. Floodlights were added to the football pitch in 2009 and an evergreen turf laid in 2012,to coincide with the start of the first season of the National League. Located 2,300 meters (7,500 ft) above sea level,the stadium is one of the highest in the world. It has raised numerous controversies in footballing circles,as its significant altitude affects the absorption of oxygen in the human body,offering considerable advantage to the home teams who are more accustomed to such conditions.
The Council of Ministers is the highest executive body in Bhutan. It was created in 1999 by Jigme Singye Wangchuck,the fourth King of Bhutan.
