The Āzādi Sport Complex (Persian: مجموعه ورزشی آزادی), formerly known as Āryāmehr Sports Complex (Persian: مجموعه ورزشی آریامهر), is the national sports complex of Iran based in Tehran. The Azadi Stadium is located within the walls of this complex. It was designed by Abdol-Aziz Mirza Farmanfarmaian along with the San Francisco office of Skidmore, Owings & Merill, and constructed by Iran's Arme Construction Company.[citation needed]
The complex was initially built for the 1974 Asian Games, with a future Olympic Games bid in mind. A year later it was showcased as Tehran's short-lived bid to host the 1984 Summer Olympics.[1] In 2013, global media reports acknowledged Azadi Sports Complex as one of the top 20 stadiums worldwide.[2]
Presently, the Azadi Stadium serves as the primary venue for the home matches of the Iranian national football team,[3] as well as for two clubs of the capital city, Persepolis and Esteghlal.[citation needed]
