The Ibn-e-Qasim Bagh Stadium, originally known as the Old Fort Stadium, is a multi-use stadium in Multan, Pakistan. It is currently used mostly for cricket and football. It hosted one Test match in 1980.[1] The stadium can accommodate 18,000 spectators and opened in 1975.
Etymology
The stadium is named in honor of Imād ad-Dīn Muḥammad ibn Qāsim ath-Thaqafī (Arabic: عماد الدين محمد بن القاسم الثقفي; c. 31 December 695 – 18 July 715), an Umayyad general who conquered the Sindh and Multan regions along the Indus River, in modern-day Pakistan, for the Umayyad Caliphate in the eighth century.
2014 stampede
On October 10, 2014, at least seven people died[2] and 40 were injured as a result of a stampede at stadium after a rally by cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan. Khan alleged that only two gates of the venue were opened at the end of the rally and the lights were also switched off. The local authorities denied the claim, stating that all five gates had been operational.[3][4][5]
