Republican Stadium, Football stadium in Kentron District, Yerevan, Armenia

Republican Stadium is a football ground in the Kentron District of Yerevan that holds around 14,400 spectators and includes electronic entry systems, VIP seating areas, and security cameras. The complex offers ten restrooms, press conference rooms, working spaces for journalists, and dedicated photographer zones along the pitch.

The stadium opened in 1935 as Dinamo, with construction begun in 1933. In the early 1950s it was renamed Hanrapetakan (Republican) when Yerevan Spartak replaced Dinamo as the republic's representative in Soviet championships. A renovation begun in 1995 stalled for lack of funds and was completed in 1999 with over US$3 million from the UEFA Executive Committee. A presidential decree of December 28, 1999, named it after Prime Minister Vazgen Sargsyan, killed in the parliament shooting that October.

The stadium was named after Vazgen Sargsyan, the prime minister killed in the 1999 parliament shooting, by a presidential decree on 28 December 1999. It is the home ground of the Armenia national team and the clubs Ararat Armenia and Pyunik. In August 2025 Jennifer Lopez performed here before more than 30,000 spectators, about 15,000 of whom travelled to Armenia for the concert.

The ground operates year-round and provides facilities including restrooms, press areas, and photographer zones close to the pitch. Visitors coming from the city center can reach it on foot or by public transport that stops nearby.

The stadium's record attendance of 42,000 was set in 1973, when Ararat Yerevan hosted Bayern Munich in the European Cup. The ground was renamed after Vazgen Sargsyan by presidential decree on 28 December 1999, two months after he was killed in the parliament shooting.
