Azersun Arena, Football stadium in Yeni Suraxanı, Azerbaijan.
Azersun Arena is a football stadium in Yeni Suraxanı, Baku, with a capacity of 5,800 spectators. Its stands are divided into three named sections: İmarət, Azərçay and Final. The stadium was rebuilt in 2015 on the site of an older Soviet-era ground and meets international standards.
The stadium was built in the Soviet era and long hosted Suraxanılı FK's home matches in the Soviet Azerbaijani championship. Qarabağ FK leased it from 2010 and began reconstruction, and the rebuilt arena opened in 2015. Its first match was Qarabağ against Neftçi (1:1) on 26 September 2015, with Erik Ramos scoring the first goal in the 61st minute.
The stadium's stands carry the names "İmarət", "Azərçay" and "Final", while Azərsun Arena is only the title sponsorship name. Qarabağ took the ground on a long lease from 2010 and rebuilt it. The first match in the new stadium, on 26 September 2015, ended 1:1 between Qarabağ and Neftçi, with Erik Ramos scoring the first goal.
The stadium is located around 15 kilometers east of Baku's center and can be reached via Saray train station or local transportation. Access is convenient through the stops along Tahir Baghirov Street.
The stadium's three stands are named "İmarət", "Azərçay" and "Final"; Azərsun Arena is only the title and advertising name. On 6 December 2015, the Qarabağ–Inter Baku match began with a minute's silence for the victims of the Günəşli fire.
