How to Hire Jinnah Stadium and Other Pakistan Sports Complex Venues in Islamabad: From Rs 15,000 a Day
Hire Jinnah Stadium, the hockey stadium, futsal courts and pools at the Pakistan Sports Complex in Islamabad. Read the PSB rates and how to ask for a booking.
The Pakistan Sports Board rents out venues at the Pakistan Sports Complex in Islamabad by the day, the hour or the match. A government school pays Rs 15,000 a day for the Jinnah Stadium track and ground. A private organisation pays Rs 100,000 a day for the same ground for sports. A local hockey club pays Rs 5,000 a match.
We read the board's published rate list at sports.gov.pk on 14 October 2026. The list shows prices, but it does not show an online booking form. This page gives the rates that matter most, who pays which rate, and how to ask for a booking.
Your rate depends on who you are
The board sets different prices for four types of user: government educational institutions, affiliated sports bodies, other organisations and foreign organisations. Government schools and colleges pay the lowest rates. Foreign organisations and embassies pay the highest.
An affiliated sports body is a national federation that the board recognises. You can check yours in the list of national sports federations. A body that is not on the list pays the "other organisations" rate.
Several lines on the rate list say "as per previous rates" and leave the affiliated body price blank. We could not read the affiliated price for the stadium. Ask the board for that figure before you plan a budget.
Main ground and hall rates start at Rs 15,000 a day
For one day at the main venues, a government school or college pays the lowest price and a private body pays several times more. The table shows the rates we read for sports use.
| Venue | Government school or college | Other organisation, sports use |
|---|---|---|
| Jinnah Stadium track and ground | Rs 15,000 a day | Rs 100,000 a day |
| Liaquat Gymnasium | Rs 25,000 a day | Rs 100,000 a day plus Rs 5,000 an hour for electricity |
| Squash courts and halls, each | Rs 15,000 a day | Rs 50,000 a day plus Rs 5,000 an hour for electricity |
| Outer football field, athletic track, baseball ground | Rs 7,000 a day | Rs 40,000 a day |
| Outer basketball and tennis courts | Rs 7,000 a day | Rs 30,000 a day |
Night events cost extra. Stadium floodlights cost Rs 40,000 an hour. The outer fields add Rs 10,000 an hour for electricity at night, and the outer basketball and tennis courts add Rs 2,000 an hour.
Hockey, futsal and pool are charged by the match or hour
Smaller bookings are cheaper because they are priced per match or per hour. This suits a club, a school team or a coaching group.
At the Naseer Bunda Hockey Stadium, a government school or affiliated body pays Rs 1,000 a match plus Rs 500 a match for watering the turf. A local hockey club pays Rs 5,000 a match. Another organisation pays Rs 10,000 a match or Rs 40,000 a day. A futsal court costs Rs 3,000 an hour, with Rs 500 an hour added for electricity for most users.
The indoor swimming pool costs a government school Rs 2,500 an hour and a private body Rs 15,000 an hour. The outdoor kids pool costs Rs 1,500 and Rs 5,000 an hour for the same two groups.
Hostel rooms are listed per person per night
Teams that travel to Islamabad can stay at the complex. The board lists the Allama Iqbal and Fatima Jinnah hostels at Rs 800 a head a night for a non-AC room and Rs 2,000 for an AC room, for sportspersons certified by their federation. Other guests pay Rs 2,000 to Rs 4,000 a head a night, depending on the room.
The Jinnah Hostel is cheaper: Rs 500 a head a night for sportspersons. Meals for people who are not in a national camp cost Rs 2,000 a head at the Jinnah Hostel, as listed. The page does not show a meal price for the other two hostels.
If you want a gym or pool for yourself, not for an event, the pricing is different. See Pakistan Sports Complex membership fees for that.
How to ask for a booking
The board's rate page does not publish a booking form, a deadline or a payment method. We would not guess one. The only contact route we found is on the board's own site.
- Decide which ground, hall or court you need and the exact dates.
- Work out your group: school, affiliated body, other organisation or foreign group.
- Call the board on +92-51-9202412, Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
- Email the same details to infopsb@sports.gov.pk and ask for a written quote.
- Keep the written quote and the payment receipt for the day of your event.
Planning a team trip abroad instead? That needs a separate clearance, covered in how to get a PSB NOC for a sports team. If you live in Lahore, the grounds there have their own prices in the Nishtar Park booking rates.

What we checked, where we read it, and what we could not confirm.
Last checked 14 October 2026. All prices come from the Pakistan Sports Facilities page at sports.gov.pk, which we read on that date. The page gave no booking process, no affiliated body price for the stadium and no meal price for two of the hostels. We did not book or visit any venue.
