BG Stadium is a football stadium in Thanyaburi, Pathum Thani, Thailand, and the home of BG Pathum United of the Thai League 1. Previously known for its iconic three-sided main stand, the newly constructed fourth stand expanded the stadium's capacity to 15,114 spectators. The stadium has been certified by the International Association Football Federation (FIFA) and by the Asian Football Federation (AFC) as an A-Class football stadium. Since opening, the ground has been installed with high-quality artificial surface. However, from the season 2018 onward the stadium was replaced with real grass.[2]

In addition to being the home of BG Pathum United, it was also used to organize international competitions for the Thailand national football team including the important football cup matches in Thailand.[3]

History

The stadium has also hosted 2021 AFC Champions League, 2022 AFC Champions League and 2023–24 AFC Champions League group stage matches.

On 3 April 2024, A new fourth side stand (Zone E stand) was added to the east side of the stadium after the Stadium had only three side stands for 14 years.[4][5]

On 21 July 2024, the stadium reached its record attendance match (14,114) where BG Pathum United played a friendly exhibition match against 2023–24 UEFA Champions League finalist Borussia Dortmund where BG Pathum United went on to win 4–0.[6][7]
