The Ibn-e-Qasim Bagh Stadium, also known as Qila Kohna Qasim Bagh Stadium,[1] is a multi-use stadium in Multan, Pakistan. It is currently used mostly for cricket and football.[2] The stadium can accommodate 18,000 spectators.

Etymology

[edit | edit source]

The stadium is named in honor of Imād ad-Dīn Muḥammad ibn Qāsim ath-Thaqafī (Arabic: عماد الدين محمد بن القاسم الثقفي; c. 31 December 695 – 18 July 715), an Umayyad general who conquered the Sindh and Multan regions along the Indus River, in modern-day Pakistan, for the Umayyad Caliphate in the eighth century.

History

[edit | edit source]

The stadium was usually used to host various football tournaments in the mid 20th century. It regularly hosted the Ismail Gold Shield Football Tournament which featured teams from India, Iran, Ceylon, along with others.[3][4][5][6] The matches were held under floodlights.[7][8]

It hosted one cricket Test match in 1980.[9]

It hosted the 2010 National Football Challenge Cup final match between KRL and Pakistan Navy.[10]

Currently it is a regular venue for matches in the Pakistan Premier League.[11][12][13][14]

On October 10, 2014, at least seven people died[15] and 40 were injured as a result of a stampede at stadium after a rally by cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan. Khan alleged that only two gates of the venue were opened at the end of the rally and the lights were also switched off. The local authorities denied the claim, stating that all five gates had been operational.[16][17][18]
