With a capacity of 31,200 seats, this iconic venue is home to the Azerbaijan National Football Team and Qarabağ FK’s UEFA competitions. It also holds a unique place in football history as the first stadium in the world named after a football referee – honouring Tofig Bahramov’s legacy of fairness and passion for football.
It’s equipped with 16 skyboxes, a modern media sector and multi-use spaces that welcome everyone. From elite athletes to local students taking their exams on the same track where champions run – this is truly a stadium that belongs to its people.
