In 2012, Nagaland Cricket Association and Government of Nagaland inaugurated a new stadium in Sovima. It cost 10.33 crores and contained all the modern technologies.[2]
The stadium's floodlights allow it to host day-night matches.
It also has a branch of the National Cricket Academy so that players need not to travel to Guwahati and other places for training and coaching camps.[3]
