The MFF Football Centre (Mongolian: МХХ Хөлбөмбөгийн төв MKhKh Khölbömbögiin töv) is a stadium in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.[1]

Overview

It is used for football matches and has an artificial playing surface.

The newly-expanded 5,000 seat stadium at the football centre opened in October 2013.[2]

It hosted Mongolia's qualification campaigns for the AFC Challenge Cup and the 2014 FIFA World Cup.[3]

In September 2022, the 110m x 73m field was resurfaced using a foam, sand, and cork mixture instead of rubber, a process that was newly-approved by FIFA. The stadium became the first in the country to feature the fully recyclable surface.[4]
