History and description<\/h3>\n

Singapore National Stadium, also referred to as Kallang National Stadium, got built to provide Singapore with a world class sports and concert venue. It replaced the old national stadium that had stood at the same site but did not meet modern standards.<\/p>\n

The old stadium closed in 2007 and got demolished in 2010, following which works on the new stadium started. In the meantime, the floating stadium The Float at Marina Bay<\/a> was used as a temporary replacement ground, though the Singapore national team played at Jalan Besar Stadium.<\/p>\n

Singapore National Stadium officially opened on 30 June 2014. It hosted its first football match in August of that year: a friendly between Juventus and a Singapore selection.<\/p>\n

The stadium has a retractable roof and retractable stands, making it suitable to host football and rugby games as well as cricket matches and concerts. The roof, spanning 310 metres, is the world’s largest free-span dome.<\/p>\n

How to get to Singapore National Stadium<\/h3>\n
