Imarat Stadium, Sports stadium in Aghdam, Azerbaijan
Imarat Stadium is a football stadium under construction in Aghdam, Azerbaijan, planned to hold around 11,700 spectators when complete. The ground meets UEFA fourth category standards, which allows it to host international matches once finished.
The first stadium on this site was built in 1952 and served as the home ground of Qarabag FK for several decades. It was destroyed in 1993 during military operations and the current project is part of a broader effort to rebuild the city.
The name Imarat is also used by the largest fan group of Qarabag FK, showing how closely the club and its supporters identify with this place. Anyone interested in local football will encounter this name throughout Aghdam.
Construction started in September 2024 and is expected to take several years, so the stadium is not yet open to the public. It is worth following news about the project before planning a trip to this part of Aghdam.
Before being turned into a football ground, the site was originally used as a horse racing track. This earlier purpose is now largely forgotten, but it gives the location a history that goes back well before football arrived.
