The Morodok Techo National Sports Complex (Khmer: ពហុកីឡាដ្ឋានជាតិមរតកតេជោ) is an approved but unbuilt Olympic-style facility in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The complex would be Cambodia’s first modern multipurpose and international standard sports facility.[1] It is set to host the 2023 Southeast Asian Games.
Location
A 94-hectare plot earmarked for the development will require the filling in of part of Pong Peay Lake, which is located between Phnom Penh Thmey village in Sen Sok district and Tuol Sangkae commune in Russey Keo near the Ly Yong Phat bridge.
Plan
The current plans include six arenas and a huge weights training gym for up to 1,500 elite athletes. The 60,000-seat main stadium will cover a plot of nine hectares and house a football pitch and running track.
A multipurpose indoor stadium on 3.6 hectares will seat 15,000 spectators while a swimming centre on a similarly sized parcel of land will be able to host 6,000 aquatics fanatics.
There is also a proposed 3,700-seat badminton and table tennis hall, a 3,700-seat gymnastics and traditional sports hall and a 3,000-seat sports hall for basketball, volleyball and futsal.
Also in the mix are plans for four six-storey blocks of offices and four eight-storey blocks to accommodate athletes, which will include 400 rooms and two eating halls.
Sea Games
Cambodia has been approved to host 2023 Southeast Asian Games.
