Originally Lahore Stadium, the ground was renamed in 1974 in honor of the former Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi following a speech he gave at the 2nd Organization of the Islamic Conference meeting in Lahore in favour of Pakistan’s right to pursue nuclear weapons. The stadium houses the headquarters of the Pakistan Cricket Board.

Originally, it was designed by architect and civil engineer Nasreddin Murat-Khan and was renovated by architect Nayyar Ali Dada for the 1996 Cricket World Cup. The lower portion under the stands was enclosed and converted to shops for boutiques and offices. Gaddafi Stadium is the first facility in Pakistan that is equipped with modern floodlights having their own standby power generators. The stadium can accommodate around 27,000 spectators since the last renovation.

It is located near Hafeez Kardar Road in Gulberg Lahore. It can be accessed from Main Boulevard Gulberg and Ferozepur Road. Its nearest landmarks include Kalma Chowk, Liberty Market, Royaute Luxury, MM Alam Road, Hafeez Center and Garden Town.
