'''Dr. Ambedkar Stadium''' is a [[association football|football]] stadium in [[New Delhi]], [[India]]. The stadium is named in honour of [[Dr. B. R. Ambedkar]], famous social reformer and architect of the [[Indian Constitution]]. It opened in 2007 and has a listed capacity of 30,000. The stadium has hosted international football finals such as the [[2007 Nehru Cup|2007]] and [[2009 Nehru Cup]].

==History==
===Renovation===
[[Image:IndiavsSyria Nehru Cup-2007.jpg|200px|thumb|right|India vs Syria on the 2007 ONGC Nehru Cup International Football Tournament]]
In 2007, the stadium was renovated and floodlights were installed. In August 2007 the stadium hosted its first tournament under floodlights, the [[Nehru Cup International Football Tournament 2007]].

===Controversy===
At the start of the [[I-League 2010-11|2010–11 I-League]] season [[Indian Arrows]] were expected to play its [[I-League]] matches at the stadium, but due to the stadium owners, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), holding non-sporting events on the pitch the pitch forced Arrows to play their matches at the [[Tau Devi Lal Stadium]] in [[Gurgaon]].
