The project underscores Gallant Sports’ commitment to bringing world-class sporting facilities to remote and strategically important areas, ensuring professional grade football infrastructure is accessible even in high-altitude locations.
The football turf ground has been developed to meet international standards and FIFA Quality benchmarks, offering professional-level playing conditions while promoting grassroots football development.

This new ground offers wide-ranging benefits for players and the local community. It provides safe, professional-quality training and match conditions, encourages youth participation in football, and helps identify and nurture emerging talent. The stadium is also positioned to host district and state-level tournaments, while serving as a community sports hub that strengthens local engagement and sports culture.
Nasir Ali, CEO & Founder of Gallant Sports said, “The completion of the FIFA- standard football turf at Anini Stadium is a proud moment for Arunachal Pradesh, reflecting our commitment to developing world-class sports infrastructure and nurturing football talent even in the most remote regions.”
Completed within a span of three months, the project stands out as one of the few FIFA-standard football facilities located in a remote north-eastern area of India. Its successful execution under challenging terrain and weather conditions underscores a significant advancement in sports infrastructure development in Arunachal Pradesh and reinforces the region’s growing role in India’s sporting landscape.
