Ghazi Stadium (Persian: ورزشگاه غازى) is a multi-use stadium in Kabul, Afghanistan. It was built during the reign of King Amanullah Khan in 1923, who was regarded as "Ghazi" (Hero) for winning the war with British and gaining independence of his nation. The stadium holds 25,000 people.
The first international match played inside Ghazi Stadium was a football (soccer) match between Afghanistan and Iran on January 1, 1941, the game was a draw with neither team scoring.
During the late 1990s the stadium was used a venue for public executions by the Taliban government. The stadium is currently used mostly for football matches between teams from different provinces of the country as well as neighboring countries.
