Nagaland Cricket Association Stadium
The Nagaland Cricket Association Stadium or Sovima Cricket Stadium is a cricket stadium located at Sovima in the Chümoukedima District of Nagaland. It is the only cricket stadium in the northeastern Indian state of Nagaland.[1] In 2012, Nagaland Cricket Association and Government of Nagaland inaugurated a new stadium in Sovima. It cost 10.33 crores and contained all the modern technologies.[2] The stadium's floodlights allow it to host day-night matches. It also has a branch of the National Cricket Academy so that players need not to travel to Guwahati and other places for training and coaching camps.[3] The first match played on this ground was between the Under-16 Dimapur district team and the Sovima Youth Cricket Club. Dimapur defeated Sovima Youth Cricket Club by 68 runs in this friendly match of 50 overs in April 2012.[4] In 2013, the stadium was the host of the Nagaland Cricket Association North East Twenty20 Cup.[5] References
