Jinnah Stadium, Gujranwala

About

The Jinnah Stadium, formerly known as Municipal Stadium, is a multipurpose stadium in Gujranwala, Punjab, Pakistan. It is used mostly for cricket matches. Built in 1981, this stadium can accommodate 20,000 spectators and is known for having one of the fastest pitches in the world. Jinnah Stadium is the only international stadium in Gujranwala. Since 2000, due to lack of international matches has led to the stadium being used for political rallies. The absence of a five-star hotel in Gujranwala is cited as the main reason for the lack of international matches at the venue.
