In anticipation of the 10th Francophonie Games to be held in Armenia in 2027, an international standard running track and other competitive infrastructure for athletics and para-athletics will be created at the "Hrazdan" stadium.
For this purpose, the Government has allocated approximately 63 million drams for the acquisition of design and cost estimation documents for reconstruction and renovation works by reallocating funds from the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports' budget for 2026.
According to the project justification, the necessary infrastructure will be ensured at the Hrazdan stadium, specifically, a running track for athletics and para-athletics competitions that meets international standards will be created, along with other necessary infrastructure, and the athletic running track of the training stadium will be reconstructed.
Under the delegation of the RA Urban Development Committee, a technical inspection of the "Hrazdan" stadium has already been carried out, which revealed that the southern and northern stands of the stadium can accommodate 50% of the seats, approximately 11,750 people. The seats in the western stand can be used at 100%, accommodating 8,100 people, while the first 11 rows in the eastern stand can accommodate 1,716 people. Seating in the tiers is excluded.
Accordingly, the "Hrazdan" stadium can accommodate around 21,566 spectators. Before the events, improvements, renovations, and other construction works need to be carried out in the stadium's locker rooms, restrooms, running track, and surrounding areas.
Based on the study, the RA Urban Development Committee has developed the technical specifications and price proposal for the acquisition of the necessary design and cost estimation documents.
Let us remind you that the Francophonie Games will take place from July 23 to August 1, 2027.
