The Sharjah Cricket Association Stadium or Sharjah Cricket Stadium is located in the emirate of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates. The stadium was built in 1982 and very quickly became a regular home for tournaments as the popularity of one-day cricket grows. The stadium hosted 198 ODIs and four Test matches.
Sharjah Stadium attracted good crowds, mainly from the area's large Asian expat population. It also hosted Masters (veterans) events and other second-string tournaments. All were played under the auspices of The Cricketers Benefit Fund Series (CBFS)" which had been established in 1981 by Abdul Rahman Bukhatir, and whose main aim was to honour cricketers of the past and present generations from India and Pakistan.
The stadium initially started with a few limited seats and very modest facilities but by 2002 had a 27,000 capacity and floodlights.
