Iqbal Stadium, Cricket stadium in Faisalabad, Pakistan
Iqbal Stadium is a cricket ground in Faisalabad with seating for around 18,000 spectators arranged in sections for regular visitors and special guests. The facility includes several stands and amenities designed for professional matches.
The ground opened in October 1978 and hosted its first Test match between Pakistan and India. This inaugural match marked the start of international cricket events at the location.
The venue honors Muhammad Iqbal, a philosopher and poet whose ideas shaped Pakistan's formation. The name reflects how this place connects sports and national identity in local culture.
The ground sits about 2 kilometers from the city center and opens from 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM on weekdays. Visitors should note that hours may vary depending on scheduled events.
In the 1998-99 season, dense fog caused a Test match against Zimbabwe to be completely abandoned without any cricket being played. This unusual event remains a memorable episode in the ground's history.
