Pimpri Chinchwad, 5th March 2026: The Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) is nearing completion of two modern football grounds in the Pimpri-Chinchwad area, aimed at strengthening sports infrastructure in the Pune Metropolitan Region.
The ‘Football and Multi-Utility Game Arena’ projects being developed in Sector 3 and Sector 12 are currently in the final stages of construction and are expected to be opened soon for players and sports enthusiasts.
