Overview

[edit]

The stadium was opened during the Soviet period in 1963 as Lernagorts Stadium, being home to Lernagorts Kapan. It remained under the ownership of the town council until 2004, when it was privatized and sold to the Gandzasar Sprts Centre LLC owned by Gagik Ohanjanyan.[2]

By the end of 2008, the stadium went under a major renovation. The playing pitch was modernized and new seats were installed.

The average attendance at the stadium for FC Gandzasar Kapan at the Armenian Premier League matches is 1,500 spectators.
