The National Stadium of El Salvador (Spanish: Estadio Nacional de El Salvador) is a 50,000-seat multi-purpose stadium under construction in Antiguo Cuscatlán, El Salvador intended as a replacement for the El Salvador national football team's current stadium, Estadio Cuscatlán. The stadium is being built on the site of the former Captain General Gerardo Barrios Military School. The construction of the US$500 million stadium began on 8 September 2022. It will be the second modern sport and event arena to be built in Central America.[1]

Once built it will have a hotel outside the stadium, auditorium, medical clinic, rooms inside the stadium, administrative offices, and a multi-sports area outside the stadium with beach soccer, basketball courts, fast football fields and a parking area for 2,000 vehicles.[2][3]
