Sovima Cricket Stadium is a cricket ground in Dimapur, Nagaland. It is the only cricket ground in the eastern state of India.
In 2012, Nagaland Cricket Association and Government of Nagaland inaugurated a new stadium in Sovima near Dimapur. It had 10.33 crores and contained all the modern technologies.
The ground has floodlights so that the stadium can 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.
The first match played on this ground was between the Under-16 Dimapur district team and the Sovima Youth Cricket Club. Dimapur defeated Sovima Youth Cricket Club by 68 runs in this friendly match of 50 overs in April 2012.
In 2013, the stadium was the host of the Nagaland Cricket Association North East Twenty20 Cup.
