Description

Here is a quick shot of the Baku National Stadium taken from the car as we drove past. The stadium looks really chic at night when it is floodit in red lighting. The Baku National Stadium is a 69,870-seat stadium designed and constructed to meet the international standards for stadiums (stadia?) set by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) and the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF). This is the largest stadium in the Baku. Construction of the 225,000-square-meter Stadium on a 650,000-square-meter site was completed in February 2015. The six-storyed, 65.7 meter structure near Boyukshor Lake in Baku opened on 6 March 2015. The main tenant of the stadium is the Azerbaijan's National Football team, who moved from their previous home at the Tofiq Bahramov Republican Stadium. In June 2015 the stadium served as the main venue for the European Games, hosting the opening and closing ceremonies, and the athletic games. The venue is intended to host the quarterfinals and three of the group games for UEFA Euro 2020. A green area is being developed around the stadium, which is accessible via public transport.
