Stadion Spartak w Semeju, Multi-purpose stadium in Semei, Kazakhstan

Stadion Spartak w Semeju is a multi-purpose stadium at Gagarin Street 168, home ground of the Yelimay football club. Its natural-grass pitch measures 105 by 68 metres, flanked by two stands, running tracks, four floodlight masts and an electronic scoreboard. The complex also holds a sports hall, an athletics indoor arena and a training pitch with artificial turf.

The stadium opened on 8 July 1966 for the football club Tsementnik, which played in the second league of the Soviet championship. It was built on the site of an old city cemetery where notable 18th- and 19th-century residents were buried, including Semipalatinsk founder Ivan Grigoryevich Andreyev. Funding came from trade unions: the total estimate was 665,000 rubles, with 103,000 from Kazsovprof, 264,000 more in 1963, and 298,000 from VTsSPS in 1965. In 2003 and again in 2013, for the centenary of Kazakh football, the stadium was reconstructed, reducing capacity from 15,000 to 8,000.

The venue hosts local football teams and athletes from the surrounding region who gather for competitions throughout the year. These matches bring together sports communities and create connections between towns across eastern Kazakhstan.

The stadium stands at 168 Gagarin Street in Semey, with two stands, four floodlight masts and running tracks around a 105×68 m natural-grass pitch. Access to the stands and the athletics facilities is from the street side; the training pitch has an artificial surface. Events are held in the warmer months, so check locally before travelling.
