Why to visit Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium

The stadium had a capacity of 30000 seats but the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup event director sought other modifications in the building and placed bucket seats, reducing the capacity to 28500 seats. The multi-purpose stadium, which includes a tidy race track surrounding the football surface, was used for the 33rd National Games of India in 2007, the South Asian Games in 2016, and the Assam Global Investors' Summit in February 2018

On October 20, 2016, 32844 people gathered to watch the ISL match between the local team Northeast United and the visiting Chennaiyin, making it the most crowded stadium in the north-east. The record stood until January 5, 2018, when it was shattered by 35,285 people at Imphal, Manipur's Khuman Lampak Main Stadium. Aside from football, the stadium is also utilised for athletics.

Special Tip
