Kasakhi Marzik Stadium, Football stadium in Ashtarak, Armenia
Kasakhi Marzik Stadium is a football stadium in Ashtarak, Armenia, opened in 1971. It has a capacity of 3,600 spectators and is administered by Armen Matevosyan. The venue currently hosts the Armenian First League teams Ararat-2, Shirak-2 and Alashkert-2.
The stadium opened in 1971 and served as home to several Armenian football clubs including Mika, Ulisses, Aragats, and Kasakh FC. Over the decades it became the town's sporting center.
The stadium's name comes from the Kasakh River, which flows through Ashtarak. Today it hosts the reserve teams of Ararat, Shirak and Alashkert in the Armenian First League, so match days bring these second-string squads and their followers to the town.
The stadium is easily reached from Ashtarak's main roads and offers straightforward access to the stands and playing field. Visitors should check before traveling since matches do not happen every day.
The stadium has plans to transform into an all-seater venue with around 2000 seats as part of a modernization project. This redevelopment will change how spectators experience the facility and update its infrastructure.
