The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has announced that the construction of the famous Dwarka Stadium will begin by the end of 2024. Not only this, the Dwarka Stadium will be completely ready by 2027.

The Dwarka Stadium project inaugurated by former Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena in September 2022 is a major milestone for the city of Delhi. Covering 50.4 acres of land in Dwarka Sector 19B, the stadium will be developed under a public private partnership between the DDA and real estate firm Omaxe. This will be DDA’s first sports infrastructure project under such a model with partnership.

At the heart of the complex will be an international cricket-cum-football stadium with a seating capacity of 30,000 spectators. However, the facilities are not limited to just major sports.

According to The Times of India, a DDA official said, ‘It will be an integrated multisports zone comprising an international cricket-cum-football stadium with a seating capacity of 30,000, indoor multisports facilities with a seating capacity of 2,000, a club house facility with a minimum membership of 3,000, and other facilities for swimming, tennis, badminton, squash, table tennis, etc.’

The DDA official said, “All sports facilities developed at the site will be available to users without the need for membership. Non-members can access the facility on a pay-and-play basis and will be allowed a minimum of 25% of the capacity of the facilities.”

The project, estimated to cost INR 350 crore, is designed to be more than just a sports venue. It will include around 3.5 lakh square feet of commercial facilities, including retail space, a hotel and office areas, all of which will be available on a 99-year lease. The construction of this stadium helped many players a lot.
