Astana Arena, Association football stadium in Astana, Kazakhstan

Astana Arena is a football stadium in Astana, Kazakhstan, built on an elliptical plan on a 232,485 m² site. Its two-tier bowl seats 30,000: a lower ring of 16,000 around the pitch and upper stands on the east and west sides for 14,000 more. A steel-truss roof with translucent panels covers the arena, and the pitch is artificial grass measuring 105 by 68 metres.

Construction ran from 2006 to 2009 at a cost of US$185 million, and the stadium opened on 3 July 2009 under the name Kazhymukan Stadium, honouring wrestler Kazhymukan Munaitpasov; it was later renamed Astana Arena. It was designed by Populous with Tabanlioglu Architects and built by Sembol Construction. The opening match pitted Lokomotiv Astana against Kazakhstan's under-21 team, refereed by Pierluigi Collina, with Nursultan Nazarbayev taking the symbolic first kick.

The stadium's original name honoured wrestler Kazhymukan Munaitpasov, reflecting Kazakhstan's wrestling, judo and boxing traditions; the arena can be adapted for these sports. It hosted the only Muz-TV Channel Awards held outside Moscow and the opening ceremony of the 7th Asian Winter Games in 2011. Dimash Kudaibergen's concerts here drew 30,000 in 2017 and 40,000 in 2019, with 13,500 attendees from 65 countries.

Four stands — north, south, west and east — hold 30,200 seats, with the lower tier ringing the pitch and the upper tier on the east and west sides. The pitch measures 105 by 68 metres and is artificial. The retractable roof opens or closes fully in 20 minutes, so events go ahead in Astana's winter cold.

The retractable roof opens or closes in 20 minutes, but in February 2020 the glass roof inserts failed under tonnes of snow and ice and fell into the hall; nobody was injured. The stadium was built from 2006 to 2009 at a cost of US$185 million.
