Kuala Lumpur Football Stadium appears under several names in football records, including KLFA Stadium and Cheras Stadium. The important first step is to recognise the same ground without confusing it with the national stadium in Bukit Jalil. This page focuses on that urban football venue and the records needed for a KL City matchday.
Resolve the aliases with an address
The official JDT venue archive uses “Cheras Stadium, Kuala Lumpur (KLFA)” and identifies Jalan Yaacob Latif, Cheras, Kuala Lumpur, 56000. Preserve that address when reconciling names from different competition databases. “Kuala Lumpur” alone is a city label, not a unique stadium identifier. A match at the national stadium should therefore not be merged into a Cheras venue record merely because both are in the capital. For map searches, enter the ground name and street, then compare the result with the current organiser’s instructions. If an old record uses an alias, keep it as an alternate name rather than creating another physical stadium.
A local ground record with explicit boundaries
| Item | Record | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Ground alias | Cheras Stadium / Kuala Lumpur (KLFA) | JDT venue archive |
| Street location | Jalan Yaacob Latif, Cheras, 56000 Kuala Lumpur | Archive address |
| Senior football | Kuala Lumpur City fixtures | Named in official club and opponent records |
| Other categories | Youth Cup entries also appear | Separate age-group competition, not senior results |
The archive demonstrates why a venue database needs team category as well as club name. A senior league match and a youth event can share a ground while having different ticketing, access and reporting arrangements. This guide does not state an unverified capacity or automatic permanent tenancy for every team that appears in the archive.
Ticket categories must remain attached to their date
A KL City notice from May 2024 distinguishes home and away open-ticket categories and directs online purchasers to TicketHotline. It illustrates an official sales route for that particular game. It does not establish a current tariff, availability or a promise that later fixtures use identical categories. If visiting with supporters of another club, check the designated section and entrance before completing a transaction. A general city guide cannot determine the correct allocation. Keep the match title, category and seller together on the receipt so that an admission question can be resolved without relying on the colour or appearance of an old promotional image.
Ground rules belong to the event and operator
KL City maintains a stadium ground-rules page. Its retrieved text identifies the official page, while the actual rule panels are images; this guide does not pretend to have transcribed their contents. Read the current accessible rules or ask the club for clarification before bringing a large bag, specialist camera, musical instrument or group banner. Rules for one venue should not be copied from Bukit Jalil or another club’s stadium. For a school or community group, clarify who holds the booking and how accompanying adults are counted. A written answer is preferable to a remembered comment from an unrelated match.
Analyse home advantage without confusing city and venue
For football data, the meaningful fields are the actual ground, designated home team, competition and match status. A city-based team can be listed as the away side in a fixture played within its own city, and a nominal home fixture can be relocated. Avoid treating the text “Kuala Lumpur” in a stadium name as sufficient evidence of KL City home advantage. If studying travel or crowd effects, document what is measured and what remains unknown. Attendance figures, usable capacity and tickets sold are separate observations. When a club archive conflicts with an opponent’s entry, preserve the disagreement until the organiser’s final match report settles the venue rather than silently selecting the more convenient record.
Checklist for a Cheras matchday
- Confirm the ground name and Jalan Yaacob Latif location against the ticket.
- Identify the senior or youth competition and the exact participating teams.
- Read the current home or away category and assigned entry route.
- Obtain the latest ground rules directly from the club or organiser.
- Plan a meeting point and a return journey appropriate to the actual finish.
- Keep any venue amendment together with the original booking confirmation.
After arrival, follow staffed entry instructions even if a map suggests a shorter approach. If an admission issue arises, show the transaction reference through the seller’s support route instead of forwarding the full ticket publicly. Once a final match report is available, update an archive entry with the confirmed venue and result, retaining a note of any earlier correction.
Frequently asked questions
Are Cheras Stadium and KLFA Stadium names for the same ground here?
The official club archive combines those names for the Jalan Yaacob Latif ground. Match the address when reconciling an older record.
Is this the national stadium in Bukit Jalil?
No. These are distinct venue identities within Kuala Lumpur and must remain separate in visitor plans and datasets.
Are the 2024 ticket prices still valid?
This guide does not carry those prices forward. Check the current fixture’s official sales notice.
