Thong Nhat Stadium enters final renovation stages in Ho Chi Minh City

Thong Nhat Stadium in Ho Chi Minh City is nearing completion of its renovation project following seven months of construction. As of early November 2026, the grass surface and athletic running tracks are largely finished, while work continues on various grandstand sections.

Grandstand A has seen most items completed, though some areas remain under construction to ensure spectator comfort and competition standards. Grandstand D is also largely finished. Meanwhile, work is ongoing for the side grandstands, and Grandstand B is currently in the scaffolding stage with major components still pending.

The renovation project, which began on March 24, involves an investment of nearly 320 billion VND from the Ho Chi Minh City budget. The stadium is expected to have a capacity of nearly 18,000 seats upon completion. The upgraded facilities, including the new running track, are intended to host events for the 10th National Sports Festival in 2026.
