Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar International Sports Stadium,^[1] commonly known as Ayodhya Stadium, is a cricket stadium situated inside the Ayodhya Sports Complex in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, India. This stadium is a part of a multi crore project for a sports complex in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, funded by the state government.

The ground is an international standard sports complex being built along NH- 330 Ayodhya- Sultanpur road, a few kilometers away from Ayodhya Airport.

The new sports complex has an astro turf, synthetic track, swimming pool, cricket field, hostels and other required facilities.^[2]

Facilities

Faizabad Stadium is one of the selected stadiums in Uttar Pradesh with a multi-purpose hall and an swimming pool. Other facilities offered allow people to play: Football, athletics, volleyball, hockey, basketball, badminton, cricket, handball, table tennis, taekwondo and wrestling.

Controversies

The Lokayukta office has received a complaint from Bhanu Pratap Singh of Ayodhya - who has accused the minister of corruption in the construction of an international stadium in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh.

According to the complainant, the sports minister had a nexus with former sports director Hari Om and former project manager R.D. Prasad, and had deliberately delayed the construction of the ₹ 86 crore Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar Stadium paving the way for an escalation of costs to ₹ 150 crore.^[3]^[4]
