Netaji Indoor Stadium, Indoor sports arena in Kolkata, India
Netaji Indoor Stadium is an indoor sports arena in Kolkata, India. It has a seating capacity of 12,000 and is located beside Eden Gardens.
The stadium was completed in January 1975 to host the World Table Tennis Championships that year. In 1997, it was the site of Mother Teresa's state funeral, and in 2023 it hosted the opening of the Kolkata International Film Festival.
The stadium is named after Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, a leader in India's independence movement. Its name is a common reference point for locals, and the venue often hosts cultural programmes and fairs alongside sports.
The stadium is easy to reach by taxi or metro, and its central location makes it a convenient stop. When no event is scheduled, the area is quiet, so check local listings for event days.
The stadium has served as a counting centre during elections in West Bengal. It was also the home venue for the Bengal Warriors in the inaugural Pro Kabaddi League season.
