Islamabad: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) will build 25 cricket grounds and 25 football grounds across Islamabad, along with multiple modern sports complexes in various sectors, to promote sports and a healthy lifestyle among residents.

The initiative is aimed at enhancing recreational opportunities, particularly for the youth, while contributing to the capital’s beautification and community development, a CDA spokesperson said on Saturday.

The decision was taken during a high-level meeting chaired by CDA Chairman and Chief Commissioner Islamabad Muhammad Ali Randhawa at CDA Headquarters.

The sports facilities are part of a broader development plan that includes upgrading major roads, constructing new underpasses to ease traffic congestion, improving park lighting, restoring green spaces, and installing modern streetlights across the city.

According to the CDA spokesperson, the new sports grounds will be strategically located in various sectors to ensure accessibility for all communities. The authority also plans to upgrade existing football and cricket grounds, introduce paddle courts, and enhance pedestrian bridges in recreational areas.

Randhawa assured that transparency and quality will remain central to the project, with all development initiatives subject to third-party audits. “Our aim is to make Islamabad a model capital where sports, recreation, and urban development go hand in hand,” he said.
