What's On

The National Sports Complex (known as the Olympic Stadium but not intended to host these games) was designed and built over a period of 18 months in 1963-4. They should have accommodated in 1964 the Games of the Non-aligned Emerging Forces, but these were delayed to 1966 for political reasons, and the complex became the location for the reception of many visiting dignitaries.

Designed by Vann Molyvann with a structural engineer who had worked with Le Corbusier, the complex was renovated and reopened to the public last year.

Though some new buildings have recently been built around the edge of the site, the original buildings remain fairly unchanged. They are a masterful arrangement of bold modern architecture with strong Khmer associations.

We will visit the stadium, which seats 84,000, the sports-hall and swimming/diving pools.
