Shahid Shiroudi Stadium, Sports stadium in central Tehran, Iran
The Shahid Shiroudi Stadium contains multiple sports facilities, including a football field, three indoor swimming pools, one outdoor pool, and climbing halls.
Built in 1939 under Reza Shah's directive, this stadium served as Iran's primary football venue until the construction of Azadi Stadium in the 1970s.
The stadium witnessed Iran's first Asian Cup victory against Israel and hosted numerous international matches that shaped Iranian sports history.
Located near Haft-e Tir Square and Karimkhan Street, the stadium maintains a capacity of 30,000 spectators and includes professional training facilities.
The stadium's construction resulted from Iran's 5-2 victory over British players in 1927, which motivated Reza Shah to order its development.
