national stadium

Main country venue

A national stadium is a country's principal venue for major sporting events, typically hosting the national football or rugby team's home matches along with cup finals and other significant competitions.

Most countries designate one stadium for this role, often the largest in the nation: The World Cup final was held at the national stadium.

Some national stadiums also host concerts and ceremonial events.
