The International Zone is located at the major shopping complex just across the road. The shopping complex, approximately 100 m x 60 m in dimension, offers five levels of shopping in addition to two basement parking levels for over 380 cars. Also housed at the shopping complex is the dining hall, medical and doping control centre, sports information office, and all the other International Zone requirements.

Travel is facilitated by the excellent and well-planned infrastructure in the vicinity. The six-lane Shah Alam Expressway and the six-lane North-South Highway linking Kuala Lumpur and Seremban Highway run next to the Village, and there is also a Light Rail Transit (LRT) Station in the Village to cater for transport to any part of the city.

The Kuala Lumpur 98 Games Village is scheduled for completion in March 1998.
