Vagharshapat City Stadium (Armenian: Վաղարշապատի Քաղաքային Մարզադաշտ) is a football stadium in Vagharshapat, Armenia. With a capacity of 3,000 spectators, the stadium was opened in 1973. It was home to FC Vagharshapat until 2005, when the club was dissolved and retired from professional football. In 2005, the ownership of the stadium was transferred to the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin by the decision of the government of Armenia. It is located around 250 metres south of the Etchmiadzin Cathedral.
The stadium is currently used by several youth football schools in the Armavir Province. However, the infrastructure of the stadium is outdated, as it had never been renovated since its inauguration.
The Armenian Church announced that the stadium will be fully renovated within the near future along with the nearby swimming complex, through the financial support of the church benefactors.
