Sylhet District Stadium (Bengali: সিলেট জেলা স্টেডিয়াম) is a stadium mostly used for football matches. It is located in Rikabi Bazar, Sylhet, Bangladesh with a capacity of 15,000.[1] This stadium is also used for international football matches. Last international match was between BangladeshvsSeychelles.
In September 2011, the stadium hosted a friendly football match between the Under-23 teams of Bangladesh and Nepal, to prepare for the Asian Games. More than 50,000 viewers entered the stadium premises forcibly, by breaking the main entrance of the stadium.[2]
Almost a half-month long renovation which started on 20 September was done for the stadium for the 2018 Bangabandhu Cup. New colours were shed on gallery, the dressing rooms were upgraded, and digital boards were installed in the stadium. 190 new bulbs were added to four floodlight stands; all of which had 400 bulbs prior to the upgrade.[3]
