Kandahar Stadium (Pashto: د کندهار لوبغالی‎) is a multi-purpose stadium in Kandahar, Afghanistan. The stadium is mainly used to play football.

It is sometimes called by other names such as the Kandahar Football Stadium. The stadium was built in 2011 after the entire ground was removed and replaced with new soil and artificial turf placed on top. The stadium now holds bigger sporting events.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
