Welagedara Stadium

Welagedara Stadium (Sinhala: වෙලගෙදර ක්‍රීඩාංගණය , Tamil: வெலகெதர விலையாட்டு அரங்கம்) is a multi-use stadium that has hosted international and local cricket matches and other events in Kurunegala, Sri Lanka.

The stadium is beside the Kurunegala-Dambulla Road, Kurunegala, 95 km away from the capital, Colombo.

Although the stadium was officially declared open by the then Minister of Home Affairs, Justice Felix Dias Bandaranaike in 1972, its history dates back to the British colonial period.

It hosted its first international level match (as Welagedara Stadium) when a Sri Lanka Colts XI played the touring Pakistanis in February 1986.

Notable international cricketers such as Rangana Herath, Lanka de Silva and Eric Upashantha have played at the stadium in their younger days.
