History and description<\/h3>\n

The Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena, initially called Dinamo Stadium, opened in 1936. Construction had started in 1929, but works were soon suspended and only picked up in 1933.<\/p>\n

The stadium could initially hold 23,000 spectators, which got increased in 1962 to 36,000.<\/p>\n

Dinamo Stadium got almost entirely reconstructed between 1969 and 1976, resulting in a capacity of 78,000. The stadium reopened with a round of 16 Cup Winner’s Cup match against Welsh side Cardiff.<\/p>\n

The stadium recorded its highest attendance of 110,000 in 1979 when Dinamo hosted Liverpool in a round of 16 European Cup match.<\/p>\n

Dinamo Stadium remained largely unchanged for the next three decades, and in 1995 got renamed Boris Paichadze National Stadium.<\/p>\n

Boris Paichadze Stadium underwent an extensive refurbishment in 2006, which reduced capacity to its current number just under 55,000 seats. In 2011, the stadium got renamed Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena, followed one year later by a smaller refurbishment including new seats.<\/p>\n

In 2015, the stadium hosted the UEFA Super Cup final between Barcelona and Sevilla (5-4).<\/p>\n
