Mỹ Đình National Stadium is a stadium in My Dinh commune, Tu Liem District, Hanoi, Vietnam, has a capacity of 50,000 seats and is the centerpiece of Vietnam's National Sports Complex. It was officially opened in September 2003 and was the main venue for the Southeast Asian Games later that year, hosting the opening and closing ceremony as well as the men's football (soccer) and athletics events.
The stadium is home to the Vietnam National Football Team, and hosts its home international friendly matches. It is also home to The Cong Viettel Football Club since 2005.
Located in Tu Liem District, 10 kilometres north-west of central Hanoi, the 40,000-seat stadium is the biggest in the country and was built at a cost of US$53 million. Arched roofs cover the grandstands on the east and west sides of the arena, providing shelter for half of the seats.
The area provides training facilities for the teams with two football training grounds conveniently located next to the stadium.
