Province Stadium, Kampot

What the stadium is

The stadium is the provincial sports complex and the place to see top-level football in Kampot. It is the home ground of Kampot FC, the provincial team that plays in the Cambodian League.

Its capacity is about 5,000 spectators. The pitch is natural grass, which is unusual among Cambodian stadiums. The Khmer name is ពហុកីឡដ្ឋានកំពត, which translates as Kampot Sports Complex. It is useful to know if you are asking a tuk-tuk driver or reading local signs.

Finding it

Use the Durian Roundabout as your landmark. The giant durian sculpture is the symbol of Kampot Province, and the stadium stands close by. Open the map link on this page and let your phone do the rest.

It is easy to combine with a walk around the town centre, since several other landmarks are nearby.
