Nilphamari Stadium

About

Nilphamari International Stadium (Bengali: নীলফামারী আন্তর্জাতিক স্টেডিয়াম) or Nilphamari District Stadium is a multipurpose stadium in Nilphamari, Bangladesh which is mainly used for domestic and international football. It is located on the opposite of Nilphamari Government College and is occasionally used for national day parade and handball games. The stadium, built in 1984, took on a new look after huge renovation works were completed in 2018 with approximately Taka 14 crore being spent on building up nearly 750 square-feet of gallery, a new VIP stand, earth filling, and planting fresh grass among other tasks. The seating capacity of the stadium has been subsequently increased to 20,000. Like other public stadiums, this venue is also owned by National Sports Council (NSC) of Bangladesh, and managed by District Sports Association of Nilphamari. This is the 14th venue used for Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) matches.
