The Āzādi Sport Complex, formerly known as Āryāmehr Sports Complex , 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. 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. In 2013, global media reports acknowledged Azadi Sports Complex as one of the top 20 stadiums worldwide. Presently, the Azadi Stadium serves as the primary venue for the home matches of the Iranian national football team, as well as for two clubs of the capital city, Persepolis and Esteghlal.
