About Nehru Stadium
Nehru Stadium in Guwahati, Assam, is a historic multi-purpose sports venue with a capacity of 25,000 that was the original cricket ground in Guwahati before the development of Barsapara Stadium. Established in 1962, the stadium hosted India vs West Indies international cricket in December 1983, marking one of the earliest international cricket fixtures in northeast India.
The venue has been a symbol of sporting culture in Guwahati and served Assam cricket for decades before the modern Assam Cricket Association Stadium took over international hosting duties. Nehru Stadium continues to host domestic football and athletics while remaining a cherished part of Guwahati's sporting heritage.
