Chang Arena

Chang Arena is a football stadium located in Isan Subdistrict, Mueang Buriram District, Buriram Province, Thailand. It is the home stadium of Buriram United F.C. and was opened in 2011. With a capacity of 32,600, it was the first FIFA-standard football-specific stadium in Thailand built without a running track. It is notable for its castle-like design and role as a major sports landmark in northeastern Thailand.

Visitors can expect a large, modern football-specific stadium with four covered stands close to the pitch, floodlighting for night matches, and a distinctive castle-inspired exterior. The surroundings include parking areas, club megastore, food and beverage outlets, and the adjacent Buriram Castle and Chang International Circuit. On non-match days visitors can view the exterior, take photos, and join stadium tours of the pitch, stands and facilities. On match days the atmosphere is lively with fans, chanting and light shows.

Constructed in 2011 under the initiative of Newin Chidchob, Chang Arena was built in 256 days and opened on 4 June 2011. It was Thailand's first football-specific stadium meeting FIFA standards without an athletics track. It has served as the home of Buriram United F.C., Thailand's most successful club in the modern Thai League era, and has hosted domestic league, cup, AFC Champions League and national team matches.

The stadium is a central symbol of Buriram's modern identity and football culture, often called Thunder Castle. It has become a community gathering place and a source of provincial pride, driving sports tourism in Buriram alongside the neighboring motorsport circuit.
