Jubilee Stadium (Armenian: «Հոբելյանական» մարզադաշտ), is a multipurpose stadium in Armavir, Armenia, mostly used for football games. With a capacity of 10,000 spectators, it is the 3rd-largest stadium in Armenia. It was opened in 1980 and named the Jubilee Stadium in memory of the 60th anniversary of the Sovietization of Armenia. It was home to FC Armavir until 2003, when the club was dissolved and retired from professional football.

In 1985, the studium hosted one group match during the FIFA World Youth Championship hosted by the Soviet Union.

The stadium is currently used by several youth football schools in the Armavir Province.^[1] However, the infrastructure of the stadium is outdated, as it had never been renovated since its inauguration.

On 4 February 2016, the ownership of the stadium was transferred to the Football Federation of Armenia by the decision of the government. It is envisaged to upgrade the stadium with an investment of around US $ 1.65 million.^[2]
