Biratnagar Stadium
Girija Prasad Koirala Cricket Stadium (Biratnagar Stadium) is a planned cricket stadium to be constructed in Baijanathpur, Biratnagar, Koshi Province, Nepal. The project was announced by the Ministry of Youth and Sports to develop dedicated cricket infrastructure in eastern Nepal. [1]
Background
In August 2025, the Minister for Youth and Sports, Dig Bahadur Limbu, confirmed that the government has allocated initial funding for the construction of the Girija Prasad Koirala Cricket Stadium at Baijanathpur in Biratnagar. The detailed project report (DPR) is to be prepared, and construction is planned with an estimated budget of around NPR 2 billion. The project is expected to include not only the cricket stadium but also ancillary facilities such as a swimming pool and covered indoor arena. [2]
The stadium is intended to help support domestic and regional cricket tournaments, including providing a home venue for teams such as the Biratnagar Kings in competitions like the Nepal Premier League. Currently, Biratnagar’s cricket matches are played on smaller local grounds and practice pitches, as there is no established large‑scale cricket stadium in operation in the city. [3]
Location
The proposed site for the stadium is in **Baijanathpur, Biratnagar**, a suburb of Morang District in Koshi Province, Nepal. The location is selected for its accessibility from the city center and potential for development of supporting sports infrastructure.
