Near the stadium there are two mini-fields for junior and youth teams "Banants".
In 2008, local contractors installed artificial turf to allow for warm-ups and workouts throughout the year. In 2010, after minor damage, the stadium was restored and its design was almost completely changed. In May 2011, the stadium was opened for games. After the renovation, its football field is considered one of the best in Armenia.
Mika Stadium
Mika Stadium in Yerevan is one of the best multi-purpose stadiums in Armenia. Quite often it hosts football matches. It is also the home arena of the Ashtarak Mika team. The stadium is quite large and can accommodate 7,000 spectators. It was built in 2008 on the site of the previously destroyed Araks stadium. In 2009, the Ulisses football club rented the Mika stadium for home matches.
Since there is no canopy on the stands, spectators can be located as close to the field as possible. For the convenience of viewing games for spectators, a modern scoreboard has been installed. The area around the stadium is surrounded by several statues. There are also two practice fields nearby. Quite often, sports matches for the youth team of Armenia are held here.
Republican Stadium of Yerevan
Yerevan Republican Stadium is one of the most versatile and versatile stadiums in Armenia. Its construction began in 1937 and was completed by the end of 1938. Many details of the façades were added after World War II. Its original name was Dynamo, but after Armenia gained independence, the stadium was renamed Hanrapetakan. In 1995, the renovation of the stadium began, which was supposed to be completed soon, but since there were not enough funds, the repair was delayed until 1999.
In 1999, after Prime Minister Vazgen Sargsyan was assassinated, the stadium was renamed in honor of this politician. The UEFA Executive Committee took part in financing the repair, allocating three million dollars. In 2000, the stadium was restored. In 2008, improvements were made, namely, they changed the lawn and added a VIP box.
Hrazdan Stadium
Initially, immediately after construction, the stadium could accommodate 75,000 spectators, but after the reconstruction, the capacity was significantly reduced, and now the stadium can accommodate about 50,000 spectators. The dimensions of the stadium field are 105x68 meters. The Hrazdan Stadium hosts the most spectacular and largest sporting events in Armenia. In 1978, the USSR team won here against the Finnish team with a score of 10:2 and the Greek team with a score of 2:0.
This stadium also has a developed internal structure, which allows developing other sports besides football. The interior of the stadium is quite spacious and designed for the fact that it is also possible to organize competitions in basketball and rhythmic gymnastics, karate, fencing and aerobics. The stadium also has two conference rooms, three restaurants and a general fitness room.
Hrazdan Stadium
Hrazdan Stadium is the only largest two-tiered stadium in Yerevan. It was built in May 1970 with the support of an oil tycoon in just 11 months. The opening of the sports stadium was held on May 19, 1971. The stadium got its name due to its location near the Hrazdan River. It was here that Ararat football fans witnessed the victory of their favorite football club and several more significant games.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, local football clubs and the Armenian national team played at the stadium. In 1990, this stadium hosted the final of the Football Cup. Over the years, the stadium has fallen into disrepair and in 2002 it was partially restored.

The history of the development of the air harbor
The air berth began its history in the distant 70s of the last century. In those days, the government of the Soviet Union decided to organize competitive tours, the essence of which was to find the best project for a new air complex. Initially, the architects presented the project in the form of a three-dimensional slightly elongated structure. However, having started direct work, it was decided to use a completely new project - a round terminal.
Construction work was carried out in a short time. The aircraft complex of unusual design, which was given a consonant name with the famous Yerevan temple, began to serve the first passengers in 1980. The cargo terminal was built and put into operation after 8 years.
In 2001, by order of the Armenian government, it was decided to lease the airport to Aeropuertos Argentina 2000 for 30 years. In early 2014, the construction of a new terminal for servicing international flights began, which began its work in 2017.
Air harbor today
The only civilian air berth in the Armenian Republic is the Zvartnots air complex. The old terminal, as we noted earlier, has a round shape that looks like alien saucers. You can see the photo below.
The size of the base corresponds to the area of 2 football fields. In the center of the terminal there is a room with a dispatch service and a modern restaurant. The above rooms have panoramic windows overlooking the runway.
The old aviation complex was deservedly considered the real pride of the ancient republic. However, the current owners still had to decide to close it in 2011 and build a new terminal in close proximity to the old one.
It was possible to put the new terminal into operation just in time for the 20th anniversary of the independence of the Armenian Republic. Official website of Yerevan Airport:www.zvartnots.am, which can be visited by everyone at any time. After reviewing the online scoreboard of Yerevan Airport, passengers will be able to know exactly whether the right plane is being sent on time or how much the flight is delayed.
Creating a new terminal, the architects wanted to create a structure that has no analogues. And they certainly managed to translate their idea into reality. After all, the first impression that everyone gets when entering a new airport is a feeling of unprecedented volume and space.
Such impressions are created thanks to the unusual walls and roof, which it was decided to build from a solid glass base. When designing the aviation complex, all previously approved international standards were taken into account. Therefore, passengers will be able to take advantage of a full range of services that will help make the waiting time more comfortable and convenient. The pier is only 10 km from the central part of the Armenian capital.
