Arnar Stadium (Armenian: Արնար մարզադաշտ) is an all-seater stadium in Ijevan, Armenia, mainly used for football matches. With a capacity of 2,100 seats, it is the only stadium in Ijevan.

Overview

The stadium was built in 2007, by the "Arnar" Charitable Fund[1] directed by the Armenian businessman Artsruni Ghalumian.[2] The first ever competitive match in Arnar Stadium was the Armenian Independence Cup final match in 2008 between Ararat Yerevan and Banants.[3] Ararat Yerevan won the title defeating Banmants 2-1 after extra time with the presence of 2,500 spectators.

Between 2011 and 2012, the stadium was used as a home venue by two teams of the Armenian Premier League; Impulse from Dilijan and Shirak from Gyumri.

The stadium has an adjacent small pitch designated for trainings.
