David Abashidze Stadium, Football stadium in Zestaponi, Georgia.
David Abashidze Stadium is a football ground in Zestaponi with a natural grass pitch laid by the Ukrainian firm Lidia-Park. Its two stands date from a 1981 reconstruction, when the west stand was roofed and the east stand built. The ground holds 4,558 individual seats.
The stadium was built in 1952 by the Zestaponi Ferro-alloy Plant as an industrial project for the local community. Later renovations expanded its physical structures and improved overall facilities for modern use.
The stadium was named in 2010 after David Abashidze, a local figure who played a key role in advancing football in the region. The naming reflects his lasting contribution to the sport's growth in Zestaponi.
The stadium sits in Zestaponi, with the west stand roofed since the 1981 reconstruction and the east stand built then. Seats are individual, numbered places, and the pitch is natural grass, so matches are played outdoors in the open. From 2026 the municipal club Margveti 2006 uses the ground for league games.
The playing surface uses a specialized natural grass technology installed by Ukrainian specialists. This combination with advanced irrigation and drainage systems from multiple countries creates a technically sophisticated field.
