Daknamstadion is a football stadium in the village Daknam, municipality Lokeren (Belgium). The stadium is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home ground of Sporting Lokeren. Around 1980 the stadium could host 18,000 people, due to security reasons the stadium's current capacity is 9,560. Since 2008 the board of Sporting Lokeren has plans to expand the stadium with 1,760 places,[2] but the construction hasn't been started yet.

On 3 March 2010, it hosted an under 21 international between Belgium and Malta.
