Azattyk Arena

About

The Azattyk Arena is a proposed football stadium in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. It is scheduled to host the home matches of the Kyrgyzstan national football team. It will become the largest sports venue in Kyrgyzstan. The stadium plans are part of a larger public spending spree by Sadyr Japarov's authoritarian regime. The construction companies tasked with building the stadium are shrouded in mystery, although it is known that at least one of the companies has ties with Japarov.
