Inside the Venues: Sardar Patel Enclave & Naranpura Sports Complex

Ahmedabad's bid for 2030 is built on a "Twin-Hub" concept. Unlike other cities where venues are scattered, 90% of the action in 2030 will happen in two massive clusters.

1. The Crown Jewel: Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Sports Enclave (Motera)

Located along the Sabarmati Riverfront, this 236-acre complex is one of the largest in Asia.

• Narendra Modi Stadium: Opening Ceremony & Cricket.
• New Aquatics Center: Swimming & Diving (12,000 capacity).
• Tennis Center: Modeled on Grand Slam courts (10,000 capacity).
• Athletes Village: 3,000 apartments being built adjacent to the stadium (will be sold as premium housing post-games).

2. The Community Hub: Veer Savarkar Sports Complex (Naranpura)

Ideally located in the heart of the city, this ₹584 Crore complex is already partially operational.

• Indoor Multi-Sport Arena: Likely to host Badminton, Table Tennis, or Gymnastics.
• Facilities: Olympic-sized pool, Basketball courts, and Volleyball arenas.

Proposed "Satellite" Venues

• Mahatma Mandir (Gandhinagar): Likely venue for Weightlifting, Judo, or Wrestling due to its massive convention halls.
• Statue of Unity (Kevadia): Proposed for the Road Cycling Race to showcase the world's tallest statue.
• Vadodara: Proposed for Women's Cricket group stages.

Note: The final allocation of sports to venues will be confirmed by the LOC in 2026.
