Mehdi Huseynzade Stadium

Mehdi Huseynzade Stadium is a sports facility in Sumgait built with concrete and steel structures near the Caspian Sea. It accommodates around 15,000 spectators and features a natural grass playing surface with an electronic scoreboard for live updates.

The stadium was built in the late 1990s and became a central venue for local football matches. Since its opening, it has undergone several upgrades, with significant renovation work beginning in 2022.

The venue is named after Mehdi Huseynzade, an Azerbaijani military officer honored as a Soviet hero. This naming reflects the city's connection to local military history and honors those who served.

The facility is easily accessible by public transportation from central Sumgait. Tickets are available both online and at the venue, so arriving early helps secure better seating options.

The venue ranks among Azerbaijan's larger sports facilities and hosts not just football but various other events throughout the year. Its location near the Caspian Sea gives it a distinctive setting that few similar venues share.
