Atif Rana, the Chief Executive of Lahore Qalandars, was the first to make this demand. He believes that Gaddafi Stadium’s existing capacity does not adequately serve the fans.
“HBL PSL 7 was too huge for Gaddafi Stadium. Almost the same number of spectators who were inside the stadium were also outside for the final match. Given the passion and interest of the people, a new, larger stadium is required “he stated.
Aqib Javed, the coach of the Qalandars, has also expressed his desire for a larger stadium to accommodate more eager fans.
“The Lahore Qalandars are working on this, and further progress will be witnessed in the coming days. Lahore is a densely crowded city with a population of 20 million people, thus a stadium with a capacity of 27,000 people is inadequate “the former bowler stated.
“The Lahore fan base is not restricted to Lahore; it extends throughout Pakistan,” Aqib explained.
