Faisalabad’s Iqbal Stadium is set to welcome international cricket in a spectacular comeback — and cricket fans have already ensured a full house for Pakistan’s ODI series against South Africa.
As per local media reports, tickets for the three-match series have been completely sold out, with supporters showing overwhelming enthusiasm for the return of top-tier cricket to the city.
This series is particularly significant as it marks Iqbal Stadium’s first international event since 2008, when Pakistan hosted Bangladesh. Although the venue has been active with domestic competitions over the years, it has been nearly 17 years since it last showcased international cricket. Additionally, PSL 11 is expected to feature matches in Faisalabad, highlighting the PCB’s renewed commitment to the venue.
Ticket sales for all enclosures were finalized within days of release, underscoring the city’s strong cricket culture and excitement to once again cheer on the national team at home.
With sold-out stands and passionate fans eagerly waiting, Iqbal Stadium is set to deliver a vibrant atmosphere as Pakistan face South Africa — bringing back memories, energy, and the thrilling spirit of cricket to Faisalabad.
