The Baku Stadium with a capacity of up to 68,000 spectators was designed in a fine and modern style.
The construction process went ahead in accordance with the International Building Code, as well as those of UEFA and FIFA.
The facility is expected to take a leading position among the country’s sports areas. No wonder, as it will be the main venue and the host of the opening and closing ceremonies of the inaugural European Games this June.
Moreover, the national stadium will be the venue of the UEFA EURO games, as Baku is hosting the quarterfinals and three group games of the EURO 2020.
