Bairiki National Stadium, officially named Reuben K. Uatioa Stadium, is in Bairiki, South Tarawa, Kiribati. It is the national stadium and the home ground for Kiribati’s men’s and women’s national football teams. The stadium is owned by the Kiribati Islands Football Association and can hold about 2,500 spectators.

The venue has never hosted an international match on Kiribati soil because the national teams have not played home international games. The playing surface is sand, which has affected Kiribati’s FIFA membership. Some matches there have drawn crowds of around 2,500.
