Overview
Nairi Stadium was built and opened in 1960 within the frames of the expansion of the Shengavit District, known as Spandaryan raion during that period.
With a capacity of 6,850 spectators, the stadium was home to FC Alashkert (formerly based in Martuni) of the Armenian Premier League between 2013 and 2024.[2] It became the property of the club in February 2013.[3] By the end of the year, the old pitch was replaced with a new natural turf in accordance with the international standards.
In July 2024, FC Urartu took over the stadium in order to rebuild the venue entirely to become their future home ground in the Armenian Premier League with an expected capacity of 10,000 seats.[4]
