The stadium started being built in 1956 and was completed in just a year, before witnessing the historic moment when Tunku Abdul Rahman proclaimed the country's independence. Since then, the stadium has played a pivotal role in hosting national celebrations, football competitions, concerts featuring renowned artistes, and more.
Stadium Merdeka has been closed since 2018, but is set to reopen its doors to the public by the middle of this year, with a new landmark to be launched alongside it.
Now, this historic ground is transforming yet again with the establishment of the Merdeka 118 precinct
