The “Dynamo” Stadium was built between 1933 and 1935 based on the design of architect Hovhannes Margaryan and was later expanded in 1953 according to the design of architect Koryun Hakobyan. Architect G. Tsgnavoryan also participated in the expansion works.

The engineering part was developed by Varos Pinajyan.

The author of the stadium roof covering (1996–2000) is civil engineer Grigor Azizyan.

The stadium has a seating capacity of 14,403. The dimensions of the field are 105 × 68 m.

The first football match at the stadium took place in June 1935, between Yerevan “Spartak” and the football team of the Central House of the Red Army of Moscow.

A large swimming pool once operated adjacent to the stadium, which no longer exists.

Since its foundation, the stadium was known as “Dynamo.” In 1999, it was renamed the “Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium.”
