M. A. Aziz Stadium

M. A. Aziz Stadium, Multi-purpose cricket and football stadium in Chittagong, Bangladesh

M. A. Aziz Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Chittagong, officially known as District Stadium, Chittagong, and formerly as Niaz Stadium. It has a capacity of 40,000 and is operated by the Bangladesh Football Federation, hosting football matches and previously used by the Bangladesh national football team.

The stadium was inaugurated on 1 January 1955, when an Indian team captained by Vinoo Mankad played the East Pakistan Sports Federation. It was then called Niaz Stadium after the district administrator who helped build it. Renamed Chittagong District Sports Organization Stadium in 1976–77, it became Bangladesh's second Test venue in 2005, where Bangladesh won their first Test, beating Zimbabwe by 226 runs. In 2025 the interim government renamed it District Stadium, Chittagong.

The ground is home to Chittagong Abahani in the Bangladesh Premier League and hosts the Sheikh Kamal International Club Cup, the country's only international club football tournament. It also stages matches of the Chittagong Football League, and the Outer Stadium beside it, leased to the Chittagong District Sports Association, has mostly been used for fairs.

The stadium is located near Stadium Chattar on Shahid Saifuddin Khaled Road, roughly 10 minutes by rickshaw from the main train station. Access to the grounds is straightforward, and the venue regularly hosts sporting events, so it is wise to check for current activities before visiting.

The ground was the second Test venue in Bangladesh, after Bangabandhu National Stadium, and in January 2005 it staged Bangladesh's first Test victory: a 226-run win over Zimbabwe, their 35th Test. The stadium's debut as a Test ground came on 15 November 2001 against Zimbabwe.
