The Sultan Ibrahim Stadium is a football stadium in Iskandar Puteri, Johor, Malaysia. It is named in honor of the state's current ruler, Sultan Ibrahim ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar.[3]

As the new home of Johor Darul Ta'zim F.C. of the Malaysia Super League since 2020, the stadium replaced Larkin Stadium which had housed the current team and all previous Johor football teams since 1964. The total cost of the construction was estimated at MYR 200 million.[4][5] The stadium, with a capacity for 40,000 spectators, opened on 22 February 2020.[6][7]
