One of the land mark in the country as its the only football stadium in the country in that size. There for it becomes the reason to visit for the visitors and locals too. For the bhutanese it's not just football stadium but is a place where all big national celebrations are celebrated like National day, Birth Anniversary of King and many more. One of the reason which make that place interesting is that one of the civil war was fought here.

I visited the national stadium during the match between Tensung and Paro FC held by BoB BPL. The location is poorly maintained as garbage is left everywhere near the seating area. Officials and citizens alike need to honestly understand their own responsibilities, such as throwing their own waste into trash bins. Very few people do that and as such, the stadium is nothing more than a landfill with some entertainment on the side.

One of the best stadium in the city... it's amazing to watch a football match.. well maintained. With the most iconic view. VIP stand is just amazing constructed and have a good LED score Board..

Most important: Entry is free for witnessing any activity! True spirit of Thimphu, infact all of Bhutan! You would be amazed by the fact that how such a peaceful happy and holy peoples can show such dedication and motivation towards the their evening sports. Football matches, archery competitions are a regular activity here every evening. My favourite was the archery, even in the weekend mornings, this was so interesting in just watching and even nudged me a couple of times to get me one of those bows! I preferred going for a takeaway coffee or tea and sitting on the stadium or archery bench steps for a couple of hours and let the Thimphu sports soak in. **There is a cool chaat and coffee kiosk down the stairs from the square to the stadium besides the hotel Wangchuk. This is the favourite evening snacking and coffee pong amongst locals, and worth a definite try for the amazing bhel puri, paani puri and coffee to go. One could also get a take away incase you’re heading for a match at the stadium!

Changlimithang Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Thimphu, Bhutan, which serves as the national stadium. It is predominantly used for football matches and is the home of the Bhutan national football team, other national selections and number of Thimphu-based football clubs. The stadium also regularly plays host to women's football, archery tournaments, minifootball and some volleyball matches. The stadium was initially constructed in 1974 for the coronation of the fourth Druk Gyalpo Jigme Singye Wangchuck, but was completely refurbished in 2007 in advance of the coronation of the fifth Druk Gyalpo Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck. Floodlighting was added to the football pitch in 2009 and an evergreen turf was laid in 2012, to coincide with the start of the first season of the National League. Located 2,300 meters (7,500 ft) above sea level, the stadium is one of the highest in the world. It has raised numerous controversies in footballing circles, as its significant altitude affects the absorption of oxygen in the human body, offering considerable advantage to the home teams who are more accustomed to such conditions.

Changlimithang is built on the site of a decisive battle in Bhutan's history, fought in 1885, which established the supremacy of Ugyen Wangchuck, his coronation as the first Druk Gyalpo and led to the unification of Bhutan following a series of civil wars and rebellions between 1882 and 1885.[1][2] Construction for the original stadium was completed in 1974 in time for the coronation of the fourth Druk Gyaplo, Jigme Singye Wangchuck, and at that time the whole park covered an area of approximately 11 hectares, with seating capacity of about 10,000 spectators.[2] As well as taking on the role of national stadium and being the home to the Bhutan national football team and national archery competitions, the stadium also provided facilities for squash, billiard and tennis, in addition to being the headquarters of Bhutan Olympic Committee.[2] Wikipedia

Beautiful place to play such a sport.. The view around the stadium itself is great and gives an amazing feeling to play.. Clean air, greenery, mountains very well connected place to be in.. Great place to do photography out there too so don't forget to carry a good camera..

It's a beautiful stadium only one found in Bhutan. All the big National events and football matches happens here.

It is the largest stadium in Bhutan and currently functions as a national stadium of Bhutan. This stadium has got significant importance in Bhutan’s history where countless battles were fought and other numerous critical events took place on this area where the current stadium stands. As of today it has got artificial turf and all the national and international sports takes place inside this stadium. At the sametime all other important national events are celebrated inside this stadium. Besides some sports and events going on, there is nothing much to do inside. Giving a brief visit to have a glimpse on it is reasonable while visiting other nearby attractions like the Centenary farmers market and Centenary & Coronation park in Thimphu city as they are very close to each other. I had a brief visit inside to get some pictures but I was restricted to enter the main ground. Time of travel: July 2018

From its origin, the historic significance and more historical moments being made in this place , it’s a very close place to me , Over the years we did see slow changes , But being the only national stadium , I feel it’s time for major change and be an inspiration for all Bhutanese, We could start with proper drainage, restrooms with water supply , safe seating , media room, cafe and restaurants, proper segregated waste disposal facilities, And while we are at it , maybe a new stand enclosing the south side Since there are many new football grounds, I feel this could be kept for big events and games .

Very large stadium in Bhutan and on the highest level of sea, lush green surrounding areas and playing here must be a dream
