The Setsoto Stadium ( Sesotho / English, German as: " The wonderful stadium " or "Surprise Stadium ") is a multi-purpose stadium in the Lesotho capital Maseru and is the only stadium in the country. It is used mostly for football matches, but also has athletics facilities.

The stadium was built in the 1980s as National Stadium. In 2002 it was renamed. In October 2007, an artificial turf was laid for 5.6 million Maloti; the playing field is relatively small with 100 meters long and 50 meters wide. 2008-2010 the plant for 150 million Maloti was renovated and re-opened on 1 May 2010. It offered until 2010, about 20,000 to 25,000 spectators. After the renovation of the stadium should offer 13,900 seats.

The stadium is also used for meetings, such as the swearing in of Prime Minister Tom Thabane, 2012.
