Champions Trophy 2025: National Stadium Karachi’s new design unveiled

A new design for the National Bank Stadium in Karachi has been unveiled as it is undergoing significant renovations in preparation for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, reported by ARY News on Friday.

The renovation plan is divided into two phases: the first phase will be completed before the Champions Trophy, while the second phase will follow the conclusion of the ICC event.

The new design features a new building to be constructed directly in front of the main stadium. This new structure will house VIP boxes, a gallery, media boxes, and family boxes for players. Additionally, the two dressing rooms may be relocated to this new building.

Recently, PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has approved the renovation of stadiums in Lahore, Karachi, and Rawalpindi. The Pakistan Cricket Board has allocated Rs12.80 billion for these infrastructure improvements.

The Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, and National Stadium in Karachi are scheduled to host the ICC Champions Trophy from February 19 to March 9 next year.

Later this month, National Stadium Karachi is scheduled to host the second Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh.

However, due to the ongoing construction work, the match will be played without spectators. Construction work will be paused during match hours and will resume once the match concludes each day.
