Ganja Stadium has been awarded UEFA Category 4 status, marking an important step forward for football infrastructure in Azerbaijan. The Association of Football Federations of Azerbaijan (AFFA) stated that the new status is the result of two years of continuous work to bring the stadium in line with UEFA requirements. The upgrade opens the way for Ganja Stadium to host higher-level international football matches, providing new opportunities for both domestic and international competitions.
Located in the city of Ganja, the stadium is one of Azerbaijan's notable football venues and serves as an important sporting facility for the country's second-largest city. Its upgraded status strengthens Ganja's position as a potential host for major football events and contributes to the continued development of Azerbaijan's football infrastructure.
