The story
Cut into the hillside below the Bayıl slope, with the houses of old Baku stacked directly above the far stand — one of the most distinctive backdrops in Azerbaijani football. Owned and run by AFFA, it hosted three group matches at the 2012 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup and served as the home of Sabail FK during their spell in the top flight.
Capacity given as both 3,200 and 3,290 depending on the source.
