Overview
editAlashkert Stadium was built and opened in 1960 as Nairi Stadium, within the frames of the expansion of the Shengavit District, known as Spandaryan raion during that period.
With a capacity of 6,850 spectators, Alashkert Stadium is the home ground of FC Alashkert (formerly based in Martuni) of the Armenian Premier League.[2] It became the property of the club in February 2013.[3] By the end of the year, the old pitch was replaced with a new natural turf in accordance with the international standards.
According to the FC Alashkert chairman Bagrat Navoyan, the stadium will be either renovated or entirely rebuilt by 2020, with a possible expansion of the capacity up to 10,000.[4]
