The Stadium of Jawaharlal Nehru. Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium is Delhi's largest stadium. It is also one of the most prestigious sports venues in India. The stadium has been the host to many major events including an edition of the ICC Cricket World Cup. It has also been the home ground of Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The stadium was built in 1949 by British prisoners of war under the supervision of architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, who also designed New Delhi's Parliament Building and Old Delhi's Fatehpuri mosque. It has been renovated several times since then most recently in 2011 when new lighting was installed along with other improvements. The stadium can hold up to 150,000 people which makes it large for cricket in India where football is popular instead. However, due to its size, special facilities are required for games that involve more than one team because they need more space to move around in. Some major events that have been held here include the 1951 Asian Games, the 1956 Olympic Games Qualifier, two editions of the ICC Cricket World Cup, three Women's World Cups, two FIFA World Cups Qualifiers and an international rugby union match between India and Australia in 2016.
