#7 DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai (India)
The DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai is one of the newer cricket stadiums in India and was established back in the year 2008. Although it is yet to host any international matches so far, it has been one of the regular venues in the Indian Premier League and was initially the home ground for two-time champions Mumbai Indians.
However, of late, the stadium has also gained the status of being a football ground ever since the Indian Super League began in 2014. The DY Patil Stadium was home to Mumbai City FC in the first two seasons of the league and also hosted the final of the inaugural edition between Kerala Blasters and Atletico de Kolkata.
The stadium was recently named as one of the venues for the FIFA U-17 World Cup to be played in India next year.
