Football Academy Stadium, Sports stadium in Avan District, Yerevan, Armenia.
The Football Academy Stadium is a football stadium in the Avan District of Yerevan, Armenia, with several training pitches, tennis courts, swimming pools, and a hotel building for athletes. The grounds are organized so that all facilities are grouped together in one place, making it a self-contained sporting site.
The complex opened in 2013 as part of a broader effort to modernize sports infrastructure in Armenia. It was officially recognized by international football bodies, which helped establish its standing as a professional training center.
The stadium is where young Armenian football players train on a daily basis, and visitors can watch sessions from the sidelines. The grounds have a working feel, with coaches, players, and staff moving between the different areas throughout the day.
It is worth checking in advance whether a match or training session is scheduled, since access to parts of the grounds may vary depending on the day's activities. The site is located in the Avan District, on the northern edge of Yerevan, and is easiest to reach by car or taxi.
The center is one of the few training facilities in the South Caucasus that meets UEFA requirements for elite academies. The on-site hotel means that visiting teams can stay directly on the grounds, without needing to leave the complex between training sessions and matches.
