Chairman Pakistan Super League Najam Sethi took to Twitter late Sunday evening to announce that he has proposed for the famous Qaddafi stadium to be named after the late humanitarian, Abdul Sattar Edhi.
The chairman has requested the governing board to consider his request of renaming the stadium.
I propose to change the name of Lahore's Gadafi Stadium to Edhi Stadium. PCB BoG members may kindly approve my request.

Another online petition to rename the new Islamabad airport after Edhi has also been gaining popularity across the internet; the petition has been signed by more than 36, 000 people.
