Stadium
Hrazdan Stadium, the largest stadium in Armenia with more than 70,000 seats, have been used for Armenia national team home matches until 2000. The Republican Stadium was renovated in 1999 and since 2000 its the home ground for Armenia.
In 2008 the politically controversial Armenia vs. Turkey match was played in Hrazdan after partial renovation earlier that year. The number of seats decreased from 70,000 to 53,849. It is planned to hold Armenia's home matches after a complete renovation in 2012.
