Jinnah Stadium is the largest stadium in Gujranwala, followed by the Mini Stadium, an association of football ground which has a capacity of 15,000.[ citation needed ] Since 2000, due to lack of international matches has led to the stadium being used for political rallies. [6] [7] [8] The absence of a five-star hotel in Gujranwala is cited as the main reason for the lack of international matches at the venue. [5]
