Nehru Stadium, Coimbatore

Nehru Stadium, Coimbatore, Multi-purpose sports stadium in Coimbatore, India.

Nehru Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in central Coimbatore, near V.O. Chidambaram Park, built in 1971 with single-tiered spectator terraces holding 30,000. A 400 m athletics track circles a field used for football and hockey, and floodlights allow day and night matches. Concrete blocks protrude from the terracing around the perimeter, the remains of an abandoned upper tier.

The stadium opened in 1971 and was named after Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first Prime Minister. Its establishment marked a turning point in the development of organized sports in the city.

The stadium is named after Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first Prime Minister. It has hosted the Santosh Trophy in 1978 and 1992 and the Federation Cup in 1979 and 1991, and in 1978 a visiting Soviet team played India here. Chennai City FC adopted the ground and made it its home for I-League seasons.

The stadium sits in central Coimbatore near V.O. Chidambaram Park. Floodlights allow day and night matches, and a 400 m athletics track rings the football and hockey field. The 2008 renovation added no seats; seating on the main stand dates from Chennai City FC's 2017 work.

The 1971 plan called for a two-tier stadium of 45,000 seats, but only the lower tier of 30,000 was built. Concrete blocks still jut from the terracing around the perimeter, used in the main stand and two curves to support a roof over spectators.
