Gaddafi Stadium formerly known as Lahore Stadium, is a cricket stadium in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan, owned by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). With a capacity of 34,000, it is the largest cricket stadium of Pakistan. The headquarters of the Pakistan Cricket Board are situated at Gaddafi Stadium, thus making it the home of the Pakistan national cricket team. It is also the home ground of Lahore Qalandars in the Pakistan Super League. It is named after Libyan revolutionary, Muammar Gaddafi.
Gaddafi Stadium was designed by Russian-born Pakistani architect and civil engineer Nasreddin Murat-Khan, and constructed by Mian Abdul Khaliq and Company in 1959. The stadium was renovated for the 1996 Cricket World Cup when it hosted the final. It was the first cricket stadium in Pakistan to be equipped with modern floodlights with their own standby power generators.
In addition to Pakistan home games and international matches, the Gaddafi Stadium has also hosted several matches of the Pakistan Super League, with the first one being the final of the 2017 edition. In March 2022, the PCB began the process to rename the stadium for sponsorship reasons. In June 2024, PCB announced that the Gaddafi Stadium will be upgraded for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
