Istaravshan Sports Complex is a sports complex in Istaravshan, Tajikistan. Istaravshan Stadium is the main stadium at the sports complex.

In addition to the football stadium, its premises include a large sports gym, tennis courts, children's football field, martial arts areas, and a swimming pool.[1]

On August 11, 2012, chaos ensued when a late goal by visitors Energetik Dushanbe was allowed by the referee. A pitch invasion followed, forcing the players to retreat to the changing rooms. Energetik Dushanbe abandoned the match when the pitch was cleared.[2] [3]

Renovation and reconstruction

On his visit to Istaravshan District, then president Emomali Rahmon attended the reopening ceremony of Istaravshan Sports Complex.[4]
