National Gymnastics Arena in Baku is a modern arena designed for major sports and stage events, with a strong focus on gymnastics. Its distinctive exterior form is inspired by the movement of a rhythmic gymnastics ribbon, while the flexible seating layout allows the venue to adapt its capacity to different types of programmes, from more intimate competitions to large international events.
Inside, the arena is planned to give spectators a clear view of the field of play and a strong sense of connection with the action. Flexible stands, spacious circulation areas and modern infrastructure make the venue suitable for gymnastics, other indoor sports, concerts and special events, while controlled acoustics and lighting help create an engaging atmosphere during performances.
The venue is located at Heydar Aliyev Avenue 178 A, Baku, Azerbaijan, beside one of the city’s important traffic corridors. Access to the entrance is convenient thanks to the nearby Koroğlu station, and for high-attendance events it is sensible to arrive earlier because of security checks and entry management.
