Dr. Ambedkar Stadium is a football stadium in New Delhi, India.[1][2][3] The stadium is named after Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, social reformer and architect of the Indian Constitution. It was earlier known as Corporation Stadium. It has held competitions like Delhi Football League, DCM Trophy, Subroto Cup and Durand Cup. It houses offices of Football Delhi, earlier known as Delhi Soccer Association. It was renovated and reopened in 2007 and has a listed capacity of 35,000. The stadium has hosted international football finals such as the 2007[4][5] and 2009 Nehru Cup.[6][7]
In October 2022, I-League side Rajasthan United announced that they will use Ambedkar Stadium as home ground due to unavailability of prominent stadium in their state.[8][9][10]
History
Renovation
In 2007, the stadium was renovated and floodlights were installed. In August 2007 the stadium hosted its first tournament under floodlights, the Nehru Cup International Football Tournament 2007.
Controversy
At the start of the 2010–11 I-League season Indian Arrows were expected to play its I-League matches at the stadium, but due to the stadium owners, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), holding non-sporting events on the pitch the pitch forced Arrows to play their matches at the Tau Devi Lal Stadium in Gurgaon.
Renovation to meet International standards
In 2024, plans were issued by the Delhi Soccer Association to revamp the stadium at an estimated cost of ₹5 crore. The revamped stadium will be equipped with dressing rooms, toilets, cafeterias and media centres.[11]
