Dasharath Rangasala (Nepali: दशरथ रङ्गशाला ; transl.Dasharath Stadium)[2] is a multi-purpose stadium in Tripureshwar, Kathmandu. It is named after Dasharath Chand, one of the four great martyrs of Nepal.

The stadium is used mostly for football matches and cultural programmes. Floodlights at the venue facilitate holding matches and events in the evenings and at night. Most of Nepal's national and international football tournaments are held in this stadium. Nepal's primary football division, Martyr's Memorial League, is also held on this ground every year.[3] The stadium has also been the only host of the inaugural 2021 Nepal Super League season.[4]
