The Batumi Stadium (Georgian: ბათუმის სტადიონი, batumis st’adioni) officially Adjarabet Arena (Georgian: აჭარაბეთ არენა) for sponsorship reasons, is a football stadium in Batumi, Georgia. The stadium has a capacity of 20,035 people.[1]
History
Construction began in January 2018 and was completed in July 2020. Its inauguration, postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, took place on 27 October 2020 with an official ceremony. The ceremony was attended by then-Prime Minister of Georgia, Giorgi Gakharia.
The stadium was designed by the Turkish firm Bahadır Kul Architecture and cost about 100 million Georgian Laris (35 million euros).
The exterior of the stadium, consisting of a series of panels arranged in the form of overlapping scales that can be illuminated at night, is inspired by the swirling effect of traditional Georgian dances, in particular Khorumi.
On 10 July 2022, the Georgian Rugby Team defeated Italy 28–19. Batumi Stadium hosted this historical match, when Georgia defeated a first-tier team for the first time in 2022 summer series.
