Baku Olympic Stadium

Baku Olympic Stadium (Azerbaijani: Bakı Olimpiya Stadionu) is a stadium, designed and constructed to meet the international standards for stadiums set by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) and the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF). Having seating capacity for 69,870 people, it is the largest stadium in Azerbaijan. Despite the name, it has never hosted and is not scheduled to host any competition of the Olympic Games.

Construction of the 205,000-square-metre (2,210,000 sq ft) stadium on a 500,000-square-metre (5,380,000 sq ft) site was completed in February 2015. The six-storey, 60-metre (197 ft) structure near Boyukshor Lake, Baku, Azerbaijan, opened on 6 March 2015. The main tenant of the stadium is 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 2015 European Games, hosting the opening and closing ceremonies and the athletic games. The venue hosted the opening match of the UEFA European Under-17 Championship in 2016, the final match of 2018–19 UEFA Europa League, three group games and a quarterfinal at the UEFA Euro 2020, the Baku concert of Mercury World Tour, and the 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29). A green area is being developed around the stadium, which is accessible via public transport.
