PSA Phuentsholing Stadium, also known as Phuentsholing Football Ground, is a 5,000-capacity football stadium located in Phuntsholing, Bhutan. The Bhutan Olympic Committee instigated a major sport venue construction project in 2016 which included the insertion of multiple additions to the stadium. [2] Opened to the public in summer 2011, the field was previously prepared for paddy transplantations by the local footballers. [3]
It is the only recreational venue in Phuntsholing. For example, the annual inter-departmental football tournament start depends solely on the PSA Football Ground being ready for usage. [4]
Preparatory work on the stadium was needed as it was hosting an event to celebrate Bhutan's monarch Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck. [3]
Hosting the 2011 Bhutan Monsoon Tournament, more fixtures were played irrespective of the rainfall reducing the pitch to a desolate field of uprooted grass roots which was a problem in the monsoon season. [3]
Artificial turf was built to supplant the sand pitch, costing a budget of 16.5 million Bhutanese ngultrums. [5]
A facelift of the PSA Football Ground started in 2009 which saw a three-sided public gallery that could contain 5,000 people. A considerable sum of 9.8 million Bhutanese ngultrums was provided in assistance to the project from the Asian Development Bank. [6]
A V-shaped drain was constructed as well as the laying of paved blocks. Around 90,428 Bhutanese ngultrums were paid to the contractors in accordance with the instruction to the bidders. [7]
