The Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi will play the host to all of India's games - in fact, all but one game of Group A, which features Ghana, the USA and Colombia. With final group games being played simultaneously, the match between Colombia and US will be held in Navi Mumbai.

Having been built by the Government of India to host the athletic events and ceremonies of the 1982 Asian Games, the stadium has seen many upliftments in terms of facilities. It was recently renovated for the 2010 Commonwealth Games and is currently the fourth largest stadium in India, 27th largest stadium in Asia and the 51st largest stadium in the world.
