LAHORE, Mar 3 (APP): The historical Gaddafi Stadium has
been given a bridal look through repair and renovation
works, carried out during the last few days, to host the
Pakistan Super League (PSL) final on March 5.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decorated the building
with lifesize posters of several cricketing greats for
the eventful day.
The renovation tasks carried out by the administration
include dusting, washing, painting and repair of different
enclosures.
“We have carried out minor repair and renovation works in
different sections of the stadium, and with the completion of the
task, the stadium has got a new look,” said a PCB official
on Friday.
He said that the stadium, which has seating capacity of almost
27,000 spectators, was ready for staging the mega event.
“We are going to host a major cricket event after a long
time and that is why we are revamping the stadium in all
aspects. The walkthrough security gates are also being
installed at the entrance points of the stadium to ensure the best
security for all,” he added.
The Nishtar Park Sports Complex, which includes Gaddafi
Stadium, National Hockey Stadium, Punjab Stadium and other
sports gymnasiums and halls, has been cleaned thoroughly
with patchwork on the roads.
Director General Sports Board Punjab (SBP) Zulfiqar Ahmad
Ghumman has been looking after all such tasks at the Nishtar
Park Sports Complex.
He said that collective efforts were needed to make the
event a big success.
