Iqbal Stadium Faisalabad
Cricket, the most popular sport in Pakistan, is the most popular sport in the city. It is played anywhere a city dweller can find a large piece of land. This is known as Bat aur Gendh. It is played in the narrow by-lanes of the city. Night-time cricket can be seen on weekends when people play brightly-lit matches on less-traversed city streets, disused construction sites, parks and several grounds in the district.
The oldest and only venue for international cricket matches is Iqbal Stadium. The Faisalabad Wolves, Faisalabad's local team, are based at this venue and often regional matches are played throughout the spring season which draw in plenty of crowds such as Faysal Bank T20 Cup. The ground hosted matches for the 1987 Cricket World Cup as well as the 1996 Cricket World Cup.
