Khost Cricket Stadium (Pashto: د خوست کريکټ لوبغالی‎) or Loya Paktia Cricket Stadium (د لویې پکتیا کريکټ لوبغالی) is a cricket stadium in Khost, Afghanistan. The stadium was inaugurated on 30 December 2016, with more than 50,000 spectators present in the inaugural ceremony,[1] a record crowd for any sport played in the country. The stadium was constructed with the assistance of Germany.[2]


Khost Cricket Stadium is the fourth leading cricket stadium in Afghanistan, after Kandahar International Cricket Stadium, Ghazi Amanullah International Cricket Stadium in Jalalabad, and Alokozay Kabul International Cricket Ground in Kabul.


It is hoped that the stadium will be able to attract international teams to play in Afghanistan which currently has One Day International status.
