The Narendra Modi Stadium (NMS), formerly known as Motera Stadium, is an international cricket stadium in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. It is the largest stadium in the world, with a seating capacity of 132,000 spectators.[13] The stadium is owned by the Gujarat Cricket Association and serves as the venue for domestic and international cricket matches.[1][14] It is one of the world's premier cricket stadiums.[15]

The Narendra Modi stadium stands on the same plot where the Sardar Patel Stadium was present from 1982 to 2015, until its demolition.[8] It served as the main venue of domestic and international cricket in the city till 2015. It hosted some matches during the 1987, 1996, and 2011 ICC World Cups.[16][17][18] The Gujarat Cricket Association (GCA) scrapped the Sardar Patel Stadium in 2015 to build a state of the art and the world's biggest cricket stadium. The Narendra Modi stadium is designed by Australia's design firm Populous and built by Larsen and Toubro. It took 5 years to build, at an estimated cost of ₹800 crore (US$96 million). The arena replaced the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground as the world's largest cricket stadium. The headquarter of the GCA is located in its premises. The Narendra Modi stadium has 4 dressing rooms, 11 center pitches, and 2 practice grounds that can host practice as well as domestic matches etc.[16][8][19][20]

On 24 February 2021, the Gujarat Cricket Association (GCA), named this newly built stadium as the Narendra Modi Stadium in honour of the current Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, who was the president of the GCA (2009–2014) and the chief minister of Gujarat (2001–2014).[21] In 2021, the stadium was inaugurated by the president of India, Ram Nath Kovind, in an event he presided over.[22]

It was first opened to the public in 2020 amid the Namaste Trump event, organized for president of the United States Donald Trump.[22] On 24 February 2021, the Narendra Modi stadium hosted its first Test match, when home side India played against England, it was also its first day-night test game.[23][19] On 29 September 2022, the opening ceremony of the 36th National games was held in the stadium.[24][25]

The arena hosted the final match of the 2023 ICC World Cup on 19 November.[26]
