Konkola Stadium is one of Zambia's most architecturally unique sporting venues, located in the mining town of Chililabombwe in the Copperbelt Province. Known for its unusual "sunken" design, the stadium has long been a fortress for local football and a significant piece of Zambian sports history.

Originally named the Kenneth Mackay Stadium (after an underground superintendent), the site was once a marshy area with a stream. Local lore suggests the area had to be drained—displacing a large population of frogs—to facilitate construction. Today, it stands as a symbol of the town's mining heritage, owned and maintained largely through the influence of Konkola Copper Mines (KCM).

Between 2002 and 2011, Konkola Stadium became a primary venue for the Zambian National Team. This was largely necessitated by the closure or unfitness of other major venues, such as the Independence Stadium in Lusaka.

The stadium’s steep, sunken design created an intimidating environment for visiting teams. Notable international matches hosted at the venue include:

On June 2, 2007, the stadium was the site of a major tragedy following an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier between Zambia and Congo Brazzaville.
