Aukštaitija Stadium

Aukštaitija Stadium is a football facility in Panevėžys with a natural grass field measuring 105 meters by 68 meters that meets international competition standards. The ground holds approximately 4,000 spectators and serves as the home venue for FK Panevėžys without a surrounding athletic track.

The stadium was founded in 1965 during a period when Lithuania developed regional sporting infrastructure. It became a key athletic venue for the city and surrounding district.

The stadium is named after Aukštaitija, a historical region of Lithuania, connecting the place to local pride and regional sporting heritage. It serves as a gathering point for the community during match days and local sports events.

The stadium accommodates about 4,000 spectators with good sightlines throughout the seating area. Visitors should know that the facility operates without undersoil heating or floodlighting for evening matches, so weather conditions and daylight timing affect the experience.

The stadium was built without an athletic running track, dedicating itself entirely to football unlike many modern sports facilities. This creates a direct connection between the spectators and the pitch from the stands.
