JLN Stadium to be demolished for Olympic training facilities
Big changes are coming to Delhi's sports scene—Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, a landmark since 1982, is set to be dismantled.
In its place, the government plans to build a massive 102-acre Sports City as part of India's push to host the 2036 Olympics.
The stadium has seen everything from major football matches to national ceremonies, so this marks the end of an era and the start of something new.
Officials are currently studying top sports facilities in Qatar, Australia
To make sure the new Sports City is world-class, officials are studying top facilities in Qatar and Australia before finalizing plans.
The project will bring state-of-the-art training centers and competition venues designed for athletes' needs.
Beyond just hosting big events, the move is intended to give young Indian talent better opportunities and to help put India on the global sports map.
