Peshawar's Arbab Niaz Stadium to be renamed after Imran Khan

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government has decided to rename the historic Arbab Niaz Stadium in Peshawar, with plans to dedicate it to the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).

According to official sources, Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has approved the renaming, and the provincial sports ministry has prepared a summary for the change.

The proposal is expected to be presented at the upcoming cabinet meeting on Friday, where it is likely to receive final approval.

A spokesperson for the KP government confirmed that renovation and beautification work at the stadium is also underway. "

With the provincial government's approval, significant upgrades are being carried out to enhance the stadium's infrastructure," the spokesperson said.

Arbab Niaz Stadium, a historic cricket venue in Pakistan, was originally named after the late Arbab Niaz, a former mayor of Peshawar and a federal minister.
