JLN Stadium to be turned into Sports City
Financial Express Lucknow
|November 11, 2025
THE ICONIC JAWAHAR Lal Nehru Stadium in the national capital will be "dismantled" to create a Sports City that will cater to all major disciplines and include lodging facility for athletes, a sports ministry source said on Monday.
The 102 acre area of the stadium will be rebuilt but as of now, the plan is merely a proposal and therefore the timeline for the project and the estimated cost has not yet been worked out.
“The stadium will be dismantled. All offices inside the stadium, including the National Anti Doping Agency (NADA), the National Dope Testing Laboratory (NDTL) and the Income Tax department will be relocated as and when the project takes off,” the ministry source said.
