 Profile

Located in Providence, about 9km south of the capital, Georgetown, the Providence stadium will have three major stands and a grass mound that can accommodate 4,000 people, giving an overall capacity of around 15,000. Built for the 2007 World Cup, the venue cost in the region of $30 million, with much of the funding coming by way of loans and grants from India.
