Rajarshi Shahu Stadium

Rajarshi Shahu Stadium is a sports facility in Kolhapur with a natural grass field measuring 106 meters by 70 meters. It has permanent seating for approximately 30,000 spectators and is primarily used for professional football matches.

The stadium was built in 1960 and named after Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj, the former ruler of Kolhapur state. Since its opening, it has served as a center for football activities in the region.

The stadium serves as the home ground where FC Kolhapur City plays its matches and regional competitions take place. Supporters gather here on match days, making it a gathering point for the local sports community.

The stadium is located on Subhash Road and has multiple entry gates for crowd management. Plan your visit around match days when events are scheduled and the facility is actively in use.

The facility is managed by the Kolhapur Sports Association, which specifically maintains the natural grass field for professional football. This commitment to maintaining a grass surface rather than artificial turf sets it apart from many modern stadiums.
