Abdul Sattar Edhi Hockey Stadium

The stadium was constructed in 1963 under the administration of Karachi Cantonment Board. It was opened in 1966.^[3] The stadium was leased to Pakistan Hockey Federation for a period of 30 years, until 1993. The lease was renewed for another 30 years, till 2023. However, the structure has been declared as dangerous by the Karachi Cantonment Board and Sindh Building Control Authority.^[4]

In July 2022, plans were announced to renovate the stadium by the Pakistan Hockey Federation and the Government of Sindh. Frontier Works Organization has been contracted to conduct the work at a budget of Rs. 1.5 billion. The project is stated to include the installation of seats, indoor gyms, swimming pools, boys' hostel, and changing rooms.^[5]

The stadium has hosted matches of the 1980, 1981, 1983, 1984, 1986, and 1992 editions of the Champions Trophy. The stadium has a capacity of 30,000 people. However, the International Hockey Federation stripped it of its international status in 2008 since it no longer had a practice pitch and a parking lot.^[6] Two editions of National Games of Pakistan have taken place here.^[4]

The stadium was also the venue for football matches during the 1974 RCD Cup and the inaugural 1976 Quaid-e-Azam International Tournament.^[7][8]
