About Nehru Stadium
Nehru Stadium in Pune, Maharashtra, is a historic multi-purpose sports venue with a capacity of 25,000 that served as Pune's primary sports arena before the construction of MCA Stadium. Established in 1969 and owned by the Maharashtra Cricket Association, the ground hosted India vs England international cricket in December 1984.
The stadium has been an important venue for football and athletics in Maharashtra, hosting major national sporting events over several decades. While cricket has largely moved to the modern MCA Stadium in Gahunje, Nehru Stadium remains an active sporting venue in central Pune and a nostalgic landmark for the city's older generation of sports fans.
