Silli Stadium is a stadium in Silli, which is 55 km from Ranchi, Jharkhand. It is mainly used for football matches.

Silli Stadium has a capacity of 20,000.[1] The synthetic turf here was laid by the same organisation that had laid the synthetic turf at the Salt Lake Stadium at Kolkata and many other major stadiums.[2]

In 2013, Indian cricket team skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni displayed his footballing skills as he scored a goal during a friendly match. He played a 35-minute friendly football match at former deputy chief minister Sudesh Mahto’s assembly constituency. He teamed up with Mahto to play against a local soccer academy team at the Silli stadium.

Dhoni and Mahto scored a goal each as their team swept past their young rivals 4–1 in the friendly tie before a capacity crowd.

Their counterpart team was led by the young player of Hazaribagh Aakash Raghuvanshi and Sumit Kerketta.
