Located on the highway connecting the airport to the city the Astana Stadium is principally designed as a venue for soccer but can be adapted for other sports events, including the country’s favorite sports – wrestling, judo and boxing.
Set within extensive landscaping the Stadium, with its spectacular elliptical form and retractable roof, has quickly become a landmark in the city.
The stadium was conceived as a large amphitheater the two-tiered structure accommodates 16,000 spectators on the lower terrace encircling the playing area, and a further 14,000 on the upper stand to the east and west. All spectators have a clear sight line with an unobstructed view of the field of play.
