Pakhtakor Markaziy Stadioni – stadium description

Central Stadium Pakhtakor – this would be the name in English. It stands for Uzbekistan's largest sports facility, the former national stadium in central Tashkent, dating back to 1956.

Since its last major overhaul it has a capacity of 35,000 people, all in single-tiered a sunken bowl.

Due to its representative status it played host to various events in sports and politics, both domestic and international. Most notably, however, it used to house the national team until the Bunyodkor Stadioni was built in 2012 and still serves the country's most famous club, Pakhtakor.
