Islamabad is finally set to receive its own world-class cricket stadium, with Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi announcing that construction in the D-12 sector will be fast-tracked and completed within a year. The long-awaited project marks a major investment in the capital’s sports infrastructure and positions the city to host high-profile international cricket events in the near future.
The new stadium is being designed with inspiration from top-tier venues in Dubai, featuring modern architecture, advanced security systems, and a smooth access network to accommodate thousands of spectators. Special attention is being given to traffic flow, with dedicated transport routes and ample premium parking planned to prevent congestion during major matches, a problem often seen in existing stadiums.
To further elevate the standard of hospitality for visiting teams, a luxury hotel will be constructed near the venue, offering convenient accommodation for international players and support staff. This addition is expected to help Islamabad compete with global cricket destinations by providing seamless logistics for tournaments and series.
Officials say this project is part of Mohsin Naqvi’s broader vision to strengthen Pakistan’s sports infrastructure and ensure the country remains an attractive destination for cricketing nations. With its modern facilities and strategic location, the stadium promises to become a premier sporting hub for fans and athletes alike.
Once completed, Islamabad will finally join other major cities in hosting world-class cricket, offering residents a state-of-the-art arena and helping Pakistan further enhance its presence on the international cricket stage.
