Azadi Stadium

The Azadi Stadium (Persian: ورزشگاه آزادی) is Iran's national and largest stadium. The Azadi stadium officially has a capacity of 100,000 people [1] [2] and was built to host the 1974 Asian Games. The stadium is part of the much larger Azadi Sports Complex, and is surrounded by a rowing river, football (Soccer) training pitches, weightlifting complex, swimming facilities and indoor volleyball and futsal courts, among many other amenities.

Azadi Stadium is where most of Iran's national games, and where Persepolis F.C.'s and Esteghlal F.C.'s Iran Pro League matches are played.



The stadium was once called the Aryamehr Stadium in honor of the former Shah of Iran but then changed to Azadi Stadium after the Iranian Revolution. The stadium is located in the West of Tehran, and is easily accessible for most people living in the city. Opposing teams often find it difficult to play their best game, when the stadium is full, as the noise level becomes very high.
