Azadi Indoor Stadium

Azadi Indoor Stadium is a modern concrete sports hall in Tehran with seating capacity for about 12,000 spectators. The facility was built to host various sports competitions and entertainment programs with multiple entrance and exit points throughout.

The facility was designed by architect Abdol-Aziz Mirza Farmanfarmaian and opened on September 1, 1974 as part of the Azadi Sports Complex. Its construction represented part of Tehran's sports infrastructure development during that decade.

The venue brings together athletes and spectators from across the country for national championships in basketball, volleyball, and combat sports. These gatherings create shared moments that shape how sports are experienced and celebrated in Tehran.

The venue is near the Tehran-Karaj freeway with direct metro access, making it easy to reach by public transportation. Ample parking and multiple entrances help distribute crowds efficiently during events and make navigation straightforward.

The hall hosts both traditional Iranian wrestling and modern sports like basketball and volleyball within the same complex. This combination shows how historical athletic traditions and contemporary disciplines coexist in one space.
