Okzhetpes Stadium, Football stadium in Kokshetau, Kazakhstan
Okzhetpes Stadium is a sports facility in Kokshetau with a natural grass pitch measuring 110 by 72 meters and seating for approximately 4,158 spectators. The venue is designed solely for football matches and does not include additional athletic facilities.
The facility was built in 1955 and was initially called Torpedo before being renamed after the Okzhetpes region. This name change reflects the importance of local geography in the venue's history.
The stadium takes its name from a local cliff formation and connects to a traditional Kazakh story about an archery contest organized by the ruler Ablai Khan.
The stadium is located at Abaya Street 116 in Kokshetau and serves as the main playing ground for FC Okzhetpes. Visitors should note that the facility has no undersoil heating, so winter conditions can be challenging.
The stadium has a remarkably focused design and omits additional athletic facilities such as running tracks or multipurpose areas. This specialization makes it a purely football-dedicated venue without the usual extras found in other sports stadiums.
