The Kuala Lumpur Badminton Stadium (Malay: Stadium Badminton Kuala Lumpur) was a now-demolished badminton arena located in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The stadium created new national badminton players including Liew Daren, Goh V Shem and Soniia Cheah.
History
Built in 1990, the stadium can hold 4,500 spectators. The stadium was used as the headquarters of Badminton Asia Confederation and was also the base of Badminton World Federation from 2005 to 2006 until BWF decided move to Putra Indoor Stadium, Bukit Jalil.
