Facts and practical information

The Narendra Modi Stadium, an iconic sport venue, stands tall in the vibrant city of Ahmedabad, India. As the largest cricket stadium in the world by seating capacity, it is a landmark that epitomizes India's passion for the sport. Completed in 2020, the stadium has a colossal capacity to accommodate 132,000 spectators, surpassing the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia.

The stadium is named after the current Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, who was the Chief Minister of Gujarat when the project was initiated. It is a part of the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Sports Complex and has replaced the old Motera Stadium that previously occupied the site.

Designed to offer an unobstructed view from every seat, the Narendra Modi Stadium is equipped with modern facilities, including four dressing rooms, state-of-the-art gymnasiums, and a clubhouse with indoor cricket training pitches. The field dimensions and the LED floodlights, which are a departure from the conventional tower floodlights, make it a cutting-edge venue for day and night matches.

The stadium's inauguration was marked by hosting the 'Namaste Trump' event, which was attended by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, and a host of other dignitaries, showcasing its multifunctional capability. Since then, it has been the venue for several international cricket matches, including the pink-ball day-night Test match between India and England in 2021.

This colossal structure is not just a sports venue but a symbol of India's infrastructural prowess and commitment to elevating the experience of cricket fans. The Narendra Modi Stadium is poised to host many more historic matches and events, further cementing its status as a premier destination for sports enthusiasts around the world.
