Thuwunna Youth Training Center Stadium (or more commonly Thuwunna YTC Stadium) is a multi-use stadium, located in Yangon, Myanmar. The 32,000-seat stadium is smaller but more up-to-date than Aung San Stadium, and is the venue of choice for most national and international level football and track and field competitions. The stadium's eight-lane runway is the first in Myanmar that conforms to the international (IAAF) standards.[2]
It is currently being upgraded to a seating capacity of 50,000 spectators. [3]
Thuwunna National Indoor Stadium, located next to the outdoor stadium, is the country's primary venue for indoor sports.
