Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar Stadium or Faizabad Sports Complex is part of a multi crore project for a sports complex in Faizabad, Uttar Pradesh, funded by the state government.
The ground is an international standard sports complex being built along NH96 (Faizabad To Sultanpur highway) a few hundred meters away from Faizabad Airport.
The new sports complex would have an astro turf, synthetic track, olympic-size swimming pool, cricket field, hostels and other required facilities. After an ultra-modern sports complex in Greater Noida Cricket Stadium and a spots complex in Meerut and one at Saifai in Etawah, this is the fourth such sports facilities in Uttar Pradesh.[1]
Facilities
Faizabad Stadium is one of the only stadiums in Uttar Pradesh with a multi-purpose hall and an Olympic swimming pool. Other facilities offered allow people to play: Football, athletics, volleyball, hockey, basketball, badminton, cricket, handball, cricket, table tennis, taekwondo and wrestling.
Controversies
The Lokayukta office has received a complaint from Bhanu Pratap Singh of Faizabad - who has accused the minister of corruption in the construction of an international stadium in Faizabad district.
According to the complainant, the sports minister had a nexus with former sports director Hari Om and former project manager R.D. Prasad, and had deliberately delayed the construction of the ₹ 86 crore Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar Stadium paving the way for an escalation of costs to ₹ 150 crore.[2][3]
