## History And Development

Plans for a major public sports stadium in Peshawar were initiated in the early 1950s under the provincial government of [Abdul Qayyum Khan](/source/Abdul_Qayyum_Khan). On 19 January 1952, a meeting of the Olympic Stadium Committee was held in Peshawar under Qyyum Khan presidentship to review progress on the proposed stadium. During this meeting, after the presentation of the 1949–51 report, members proposed that the new facility be named Qayyum Stadium.[5] The proposal was unanimously approved, despite Abdul Qayyum Khan's own objection to having the stadium named after him. He nevertheless assured the committee of his cooperation in completing the project.[5][6]

In the 1980s, the Peshawar Stadium was transferred to [Pakistan Sports Board](/source/Pakistan_Sports_Board), and work was initiated to convert in into a standard sports complex including a Gymnasium Hall, Mini Hall, Squash Courts, and Sportsmen Hostel. The scheme was approved in 1983, the construction work was initiated in 1985 and completed in 1990.[7]

In march 2016, the provincial government of [PTI](/source/Pakistan_Tehreek-e-Insaf) launches the renovation and beautification of Qayyum Stadium.[8]
