Ground: Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Kochi
The Jawaharlal Nehru International Stadium, locally known as Kaloor Stadium, is a multi-purpose stadium in Kochi, Kerala, India. The stadium has a capacity of 41,000 spectators.[2] For Indian Super League matches it is restricted to 39,000.[3][4][5] The stadium is widely touted to be one of the noisiest football stadiums in the world.[6]
The stadium has played host to a number of international cricket and football matches but after 2014 it didn’t hold any cricket match due to ISL. The extensive grounds of the stadium serve as venue for important exhibitions, cinema events and political rallies in the city. The most innovative aspect of the stadium is its unique lighting towers of 2 kW Floodlights which when switched on fully can provide lighting levels for HD telecast. The Structure of the tower is itself one of a kind in India
