Imarat Stadium (Azerbaijani: İmarət stadionu), opened in 1952, was a multi-purpose stadium in Aghdam, Azerbaijan.[1] The stadium was built in 1952 and used as home stadium by Qarabağ FK. The stadium was destroyed by bombardments from Armenian military forces during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War in June 1993.[2][3][4]

The stadium returned to Azerbaijani control on 20 November 2020 as a result of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war.[5] Following its capture, Azerbaijani forces began to clear mines from the stadium grounds.[6] The Ministry of Youth and Sports of Azerbaijan has declared that the stadium will be restored.[7]

The biggest fan club of the Qarabağ FK, Imarat Tayfa, was also named after this stadium.[8]
