Diego Martin Sporting Complex
Diego Martin Sporting Complex is a multipurpose sporting complex in Trinidad and Tobago, situated in Savannah Terrace, Diego Martin. The foundation for the facility was laid in 2010, though the project was later abandoned. In 2016, work on the project resumed with improvements made to the original plan. The construction of the $115 million facility was completed in 2019 and was officially opened by the then Prime Minister Keith Rowley in March 2019. The plot was developed by the UDeCOTT.
In November 2021, it was announced that the venue would host four matches of the 2022 Under-19 Men's Cricket World Cup. In March 2022, the Cricket West Indies (CWI) confirmed that the ground would host matches of the 2021–22 West Indies Championship. The first recorded first-class match on the ground was held on 18 May 2022, between Trinidad and Tobago and the Leeward Islands.
