The clock is ticking, and Lahoreโ€™s iconic Gaddafi Stadium is getting ready for its big moment. With the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy just around the corner, the stadiumโ€™s renovation is in full swing. Pakistan is all set to welcome cricketโ€™s elite, and Gaddafi Stadium is making sure itโ€™s dressed to impress.

Final Touches Are in Progress

According to PCBโ€™s Director of Infrastructure, Qazi Jawad Ahmed, the construction is on track. The first-floor finishing touches are almost done, while other pavilion floors are taking shape.

One of the key updates involves the Far End Building. Though structurally sound, itโ€™s getting a complete facelift to match the stadiumโ€™s new vibe. Ahmed assured fans that this section will be ready in just two weeks.

The floodlights are also getting some love. One screen stand is already up, and the second is just a few steps away from completion.

Seating That Represents Pakistan

The stadiumโ€™s seating upgrade is another highlight. Brand-new white and green chairsโ€”representing Pakistanโ€™s national coloursโ€”will soon add a fresh, vibrant look to the stands. These imported chairs are expected to arrive and be installed soon.

With these upgrades, Gaddafi Stadium is shaping up to be a world-class venue, ready to host cricketโ€™s biggest names.

Pakistan will host 10 of these matches across three cities: Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi. Dubai will also play a key role, hosting four games, including all three of Indiaโ€™s group-stage matches and the first semi-final.

The grand finale? Thatโ€™s set for Lahoreโ€”unless India makes it to the final, in which case the action will shift to Dubai.

As the finishing touches are added to Gaddafi Stadium, the countdown to February 19 has officially begun. Whether youโ€™re a fan in the stands or watching from home, one thing is certain: this is going to be cricket at its finest.
