(Phnom Penh): His Excellency Deputy Prime Minister Say Samal, Minister of the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction, said that the Royal Government of Cambodia is paying attention to the construction of the Preah Sihanouk Provincial Stadium, which will be completed soon, to serve the common interest in the sports sector and attract tourists to visit Preah Sihanouk Province, which is a province with excellence in development, as well as other coastal provinces.
His Excellency spoke on the morning of December 18, 2023, at a meeting to review the progress of the construction of the Preah Sihanouk Provincial Stadium, which was held at the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction.
The construction of the Preah Sihanouk Provincial Stadium is a response to the requests of the people and a necessary requirement to develop the sports and tourism sectors in Preah Sihanouk Province to be more prosperous. The stadium is not only a field for football or other sports, but also a place to attract more national and international tourists to visit the province.
His Excellency the Deputy Prime Minister considers the construction of the Preah Sihanouk Provincial Stadium as another new achievement that emerged under the initiative of the 7th Prime Minister of the Royal Government of Cambodia, Samdech Maha Vajiralongkorn, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia, who is always willing to build and develop the country and serve the people without wavering, as well as responding to the requests and actual needs of the people at all times.
The project to build the first large-scale national stadium in Preah Sihanouk City is located along the Preah Sihanouk Provincial Expressway, entering Kbal Chhay Road for 5 kilometers and then turning right for 1.5 kilometers. The stadium can accommodate 31,450 people and has a total area of 33 hectares, including 282 parking spaces, a gym, a cafe, a camping site, an Amsterdam tourist park, a museum building, a theater, and many other infrastructures.
In addition, the stadium will be built in a contemporary style, incorporating national identity, and will be constructed mostly of concrete to ensure its longevity, similar to the ancient buildings that have survived to this day.
