Arkadag Stadium (Turkmen: Arkadag Stadiony) is a multi-purpose stadium in Arkadag, Turkmenistan. It primarily serves as the home stadium of FK Arkadag. The stadium has a capacity of 10,000 spectators.[1]
History
[edit]The Arkadag stadiony was constructed between December 2019 and February 2023.[2]
The stadium, situated at 30 Magtymguly Pyragy Street in the city of Arkadag,[3] is a sports facility designed to support the practice of weightlifting, table tennis, boxing, archery, athletics, and football, offering conditions for training and competition across a wide range of disciplines.[3]
On July 1, 2023, the newly built stadium hosted its first football match as the local team Arkadag defeated the reigning champion of Turkmenistan FC Ahal 3–0.[4] The match, played in front of a full 10,000 crowd, marked the start of a new chapter for Arkadag, with goals scored by Begmyrat Baýow, Şanazar Tirkişow, and Orazberdi Myradow.[4] Arkadag Stadium hosted the 2023 Turkmenistan Cup final.[5]
On March 12, 2025, the Arkadag Stadium hosted a historic event: for the first time, an international official football match was played at this stadium. The second leg of the AFC Challenge Cup quarterfinal between FC Arkadag and India's East Bengal FC (2:1)[6] marked the stadium’s and city’s debut on the international football stage. [7]
