Greenfield Stadium

Did you know that Trivandrum, Kerala, is home to India’s very first fully eco-friendly stadium? Located in Kariavattom, the capital city of Kerala state, the Greenfield International Stadium (also known as The Sports Hub) is a major pride for the country.

Built to world-class standards, this massive 55,000-capacity venue can host both international cricket and football matches under one roof, making it a highly versatile sports arena.What truly sets this landmark apart is its clever, multi-purpose layout.

The stadium complex is divided into distinct zones for cricket, football, retail shopping, and indoor fitness. Beyond the massive playing fields, the venue features an Olympic-sized swimming pool, a modern gymnasium, and indoor courts for sports like basketball, badminton, squash, and table tennis.

It also stands out for its green architecture, featuring lush surroundings and an integrated rainwater harvesting system.Since opening on January 26, 2015, the stadium has hit several major milestones for Indian sports.

It served as a central venue for the 35th National Games and hosted the 2015 SAFF Championship, where India took home the trophy. A historic moment came on November 7, 2017, when it hosted a T20I match between India and New Zealand, officially making it India's 50th international cricket venue.

Whether you are a local fan or a traveler exploring Kerala, it is a magnificent landmark worth visiting.
