Guru Gobind Singh Stadium

Guru Gobind Singh Stadium is a multi-purpose sports facility in Jalandhar with seating capacity for about 22,000 spectators. Two double-decker pavilions dominate the structure, offering various seating arrangements and stands designed for different types of events.

The stadium was founded in 1971 and initially served as a regional sports venue for local events. A major renovation in 2009 upgraded the infrastructure to host the inaugural World Kabaddi Cup in December 2010.

The stadium takes its name from the tenth Sikh Guru, reflecting its importance to the local community. Football matches and kabaddi tournaments held here draw crowds from across the region throughout the year.

The venue sits in New Jawahar Nagar and spreads across several hectares with parking on both sides for visitors. Inside, you will find changing rooms, administrative offices, and media facilities that support various sporting events.

The stadium uses vertical expansion with double-decker seating to work around space limits imposed by surrounding city roads. This design choice shows how architects adapted to the tight constraints of the densely developed neighborhood.
