The NKDA Football Stadium is a specialized sports facility located in the planned satellite city of New Town, Kolkata. The venue features a full-sized synthetic turf pitch designed for professional and amateur football matches. It serves as a primary hub for regional sporting tournaments and community athletic events in the Action Area I neighborhood. The stadium is managed by the New Town Kolkata Development Authority (NKDA) to promote physical activity and local sports development. The facility includes spectator galleries flanking the main pitch to accommodate local crowds. Its strategic location within New Town integrates it into the area's broader urban infrastructure project.
