Velodrom Nasional Malaysia (English: Malaysian National Velodrome) is a sporting facility located in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. The velodrome is the first indoor velodrome in Southeast Asia.[3][1] It replaces the 28-year-old Velodrome Rakyat in Ipoh, Perak, which is being upgraded and the 30-year-old Cheras Velodrome in Kuala Lumpur, which will be demolished to make way for commercial development, as the nation's track cycling hub.[2]
