The government is planning a big sports project in the capital Delhi. In fact, sources associated with the Sports Ministry said on Monday (November 10) that the prestigious Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in the national capital will be demolished and a ‘Sports City’ will be built. Apart from all the major sports, there will also be accommodation facilities for the players.

The 102-acre area of ​​the stadium will be completely renovated, but as of now the plan is only a proposal and hence the timeline of the project has not been decided yet. Sports cities of Qatar and Australia are being evaluated to finalize its outline.

The stadium will be demolished

The ministry source said that the stadium will be demolished. All offices located inside the stadium, including the National Anti-Doping Agency and the National Dope Testing Laboratory, will be shifted.

There will be facilities for these sports

The Sports City primarily houses a multi-sport facility with world-class infrastructure for conducting training and major events. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Sports Complex of Ahmedabad is an example of this, where facilities are available for cricket, swimming, tennis and athletics etc.

Ind vs pak asia cup 2025: The Asia Cup 2025 has just come to the schedule and the tournament will begin in September, but the India-Pakistan match has stepped up the stir before the start of this tournament. The Pahalgam terror attack has just been a few months and the matter of the match with Pakistan has increased the anger among the people. According to the information received from PTI from the Sports Ministry sources, even after all these things, the Sports Ministry cannot interfere in this matter, because the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) does not come under the Sports Ministry yet.

Match approval with Pakistan?

The debate over the India-Pakistan match has intensified. The Sports Ministry is maintained that no bilateral sports relationship can be held with Pakistan. But when such a tournament comes out, in which many countries are participating, it is difficult for India to retreat. The reason behind this is the involvement of cricket in Olympics 2028 and India also wants to host Olympics for 2036. For this reason, the government cannot stop Pakistani players from coming to India.

When will India-Pakistan match be held?

India and Pakistan have been scheduled to match on 14 September in the Asia Cup. At least two matches can be played between the two countries in the Asia Cup. The first match will be played in the league stage. At the same time, the second match can be seen in Super-4. India and Pakistan have been kept in the same group in the Asia Cup. This tournament is organized by the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) and not the International Cricket Council (ICC). For information, let us know that the president of ACC is Mohsin Naqvi, head of Pakistan Cricket Board.

WCL refused to play in 2025

The World Championships of Legends were also supposed to have a match between India and Pakistan, but veteran Indian players refused to play against Pakistan just before the match. There is a debate on social media too, some people are in favor of BCCI, while some fans want India not to play any matches against Pakistan.
