Overview

It is an added feather into the crown of Kerala as well as of Kannur itself to have an exclusively ( to be Air conditioned ) Mundyad  Indoor Stadium with the sitting capacity of 5000. It is first of its kind in the Northern Region of Kerala . The Stadium was inaugurated by Chief Minister Oommen Chandy on January 15. 2015  in Presence of Ministers Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan and K.C. Joseph t on the land that once belonged to the Animal Husbandry Department’s regional poultry farm .
 This  multi-purpose indoor stadium constructed at Mundayad here for hosting basketball and wrestling events of the 35th National Games is expected to give an impetus to sports in the district and had  got applauses from the International Players as well as from the International Referees who have Participated in the National Games

 The stadium has been constructed on 6.55 hectares at Mundayad which had been handed over to the District Sports Council by the Animal Husbandry Department for developing the proposed sports complex. The Stadium is Situated 7 km away from Kannur Town . The Stadium is a suitable place to organize assorts of National as well as International level indoor games such as Basket Ball, Volley Ball, Table-Tennis, Gymnastics, Hand Ball, Boxing, Wrestling, Badminton,  Tennis etc. and can be hired for such sporting events. It possesses the central arena of 6o m x 40 m size the biggest in the State can accommodate even 3 Basketball Courts , rooms for participants am and  Glass Cubicles  for commentators ,Doordharshan ,etc.

Apart from this an Outdoor Flood Lit Facility for Basketball was also there , as well as other Games the design of the building and energy-saving measures adopted make this structure unique. Advanced techniques in lighting, ventilation and roofing have reduced cost of the project considerably
It will be unfair if we don’t congratulate nor recognise the service of Engineers from National Games Secretariat as well as the Consultants BSNL for Making this as  one of the Best Indoor Stadiums in India  with an amount of 33 crores , I  also take this opportunity  also Congratulate and thank the work done by  Ray Constructions and  Muhammad Haji  who have done the outer works to make this as an International one .Technically also this was also to be recogonise  with International Standard Matts brought from switzerland for Wrestling and in BAsketball it e was for the first time that each team coaches  have Given Statitics during the Intervel to analise thier Players Performance
