Everything you need to know about Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena
The Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena, which originally opened as the Dinamo Stadium in 1936, is the largest and most famous stadium in Georgia. Located in the heart of the capital city, Tbilisi, it has a seating capacity of 54,549. It serves as the proud home of FC Dinamo Tbilisi, the Georgia national football team, and the Georgia national rugby union team.
During the 1970s, Dinamo Tbilisi became very successful and to handle the growing crowds, the stadium was completely rebuilt (1976).
After Georgia gained independence, the stadium was renamed to honor Boris Paichadze, a legendary 1940s goalscoring hero, who is widely considered one of Georgia's greatest football players.
In 2006, the stadium underwent a massive modernization. To meet safety and UEFA standards, it was converted into an all-seater stadium. This drastically reduced the capacity from its old towering numbers to its current format.
Memorable moments at Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena:
- Sinking Liverpool (1979): Dinamo Tbilisi hosted European powerhouse Liverpool in a European Cup match. Dinamo completely destroyed Liverpool 3–0. While official capacity was lower, local reports state a mind-blowing 110,000 fans squeezed into the stadium by standing in aisles and walkways. This stands as the ultimate record attendance at the ground.
- The Sea of Torches (1981): After Dinamo Tbilisi won the prestigious 1980-81 European Cup Winners' Cup in Germany, they returned home to celebrate. More than 80,000 fans packed into the stadium holding lighted torches to welcome their heroes in an iconic, glowing celebration.
- The All-Spanish Showdown (2015): The arena grabbed the global football spotlight when it hosted the 2015 UEFA Super Cup. A thrilling clash saw Barcelona defeat Sevilla 5-4 in front of a packed house.
A Father-Son Masterpiece: The stadium is a rare architectural marvel that was originally built by a father (Archil Kurdiani) in 1936, and then completely reimagined by that same father working alongside his architect son (Gia Kurdiani), 40 years later.
How to Get There
As the Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena is located in a central, busy commercial area just north of Tbilisi's city centre, public transport is highly recommended over driving.
By Metro (Subway): The Tbilisi Metro is cheap (GEL 1), fast, and avoids game-day traffic.
- Station Square (Vagzalis Moedani): This is the main hub where both the First Line (Red Line) and Saburtalo Line (Green Line) cross. Exit the station, walk down Tevedore Megvedeli Street, turn left on Tsabadze Street, and you will see the stadium.
By Bus: Many city buses stop directly outside or within a 5-minute walk of the stadium.
- Buses 306, 308, 311, 315, 320, 351, 362, 431, and 476 stop right by the stadium or near the Tsereteli Metro hub. If travelling from central areas, buses 31 and 37 run directly from Rustaveli Avenue to Station Square.
By Train: If you are coming from outside Tbilisi (like Batumi, Kutaisi, or Gori), you can take a regional train. Disembark at Tbilisi Central Railway Station at Station Square. The stadium is located just a few blocks north of the platforms, making it an easy 10-minute walk.
By Car: Driving yourself is generally discouraged due to extreme traffic and limited parking on event days. There is no dedicated public parking lot at the arena, but you can park your vehicle at the Tbilisi Central Station parking lot and walk the remaining distance to the stadium.
