Muhammadu Dikko Stadium, Football stadium in Katsina, Nigeria.
Muhammadu Dikko Stadium is a football arena in Katsina designed with seating for around 35,000 spectators. The facility includes training areas and support spaces for athletes and visitors.
The project began in the 1990s but remained incomplete for many years before finally opening in 2013. The official naming came a few years after its completion.
The stadium is named after a prominent regional leader and serves as a gathering place where football connects people across the community. Matches here draw crowds who share a passion for the sport.
The stadium serves as the home ground for a local football club and offers training facilities for the wider community beyond match days. Visitors will find sports amenities regularly used for competitions and public events.
From 2015 to 2016, a football club from another region temporarily used this stadium for their home matches due to security concerns in their usual area. This briefly gave the venue an unexpected role hosting a team with broader regional reach.
