Sylhet District Stadium, Sports stadium in Sylhet, Bangladesh
Sylhet District Stadium is a sports venue in Sylhet featuring open-air concrete stands arranged around a natural grass field. The playing surface measures approximately 145 by 135 meters (476 by 443 feet) and holds around 18,000 spectators seated in tiered rows.
The stadium was established in 1965 to serve the region's sporting needs. Major upgrades came in 2006 when floodlights were installed, allowing evening and night competitions to take place.
The stadium occupies what was once a Portuguese settlement called Firingi Hill, a place name that residents still recognize today. This historical connection shapes how locals view the sporting ground and the wider community around it.
The venue sits on elevated ground and is surrounded by tea gardens, making it relatively easy to locate and reach. Visitors should use local bus transport and be prepared for uneven terrain in the surrounding area.
From the stands, spectators can see the surrounding tea gardens that define the Sylhet landscape during events. This view of the region's natural character becomes part of the overall experience when watching matches.
