Lammual is a general open pitch in Aizawl, Mizoram, India. It is used mainly for football. It was one of the venues for the Northeast Games 2012.
The ground is a single tier stadium. The stadium under construction will have a seating capacity of about 5,000 spectators which will cost around 190 crores.
The stadium has a historical and cultural significance for the Mizo people. It has been used for addressing the people of Mizoram by politicians like Jawaharlal Nehru who visited Aizawl in 1965. Lammual has also been the place where a helicopter landed for the first time in Mizoram in 1962. It is the venue for Chapchar Kut festival, a festival of Mizo people. There was initially a plan to construct the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Lammual ground before it was shifted to Mualpui as Assam Rifle could not give clearance for construction. The Chief Minister of Mizoram, Lal Thanhawla officially inaugurated the artificial turf (grass) laid at Aizawl Lammual, also known as the Assam Rifles (AR) Ground in Aizawl city on Monday, February 28, 2011. He has also committed that flood lights will be installed so that games can be played at night.
