Guru Gobind Singh Stadium, Multi-purpose sports stadium in Jalandhar, India.
Guru Gobind Singh Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Jalandhar, Punjab, India, with a capacity of 22,000 spectators. It is used for football matches, including the JCT football tournament, and for kabaddi, jogging, weight-lifting, live music shows and award ceremonies. Floodlights allow use at night, and the grounds include dressing rooms, referees' changing rooms, administration rooms, a VIP/guest lounge, a media room, a conference room, a medical room and parking areas on each side.
The stadium opened in 1971 and served for decades as a regional venue for local competitions in Jalandhar. A major renovation completed in 2009 prepared it to host the first ever World Kabaddi Cup in 2010.
The stadium is named after the tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh, and that connection matters to many people who come here. Kabaddi is the sport that draws the biggest crowds, as the game is deeply rooted in Punjab and followed with great passion across the region.
