Lernayin Artsakh FC (Armenian: Լեռնային Արցախ Ֆուտբոլային Ակումբ) is an association football club based in unrecognized Stepanakert, Artsakh Republic but is registered in Armenia.
Stepanakert Republican Stadium (Armenian: Ստեփանակերտի Հանրապետական մարզադաշտ, romanized: Step’anakerti Hanrapetakan marzadasht) or Khankendi Stadium (Azerbaijani: Xankəndi stadionu) is a stadium in Stepanakert, Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijan.
The stadium was unveiled in 1956 as Joseph Stalin Stadium. After the First Nagorno-Karabakh War, the name was changed to Stepan Shahumyan Central Stadium by the authorities of the breakaway Republic of Artsakh.
The stadium was entirely renovated in 2004–2005 and renamed Stepanakert Republican Stadium. During the renovation, the venue was turned into an all-seater stadium with a capacity of 12,000 spectators. In 2015, the natural grass was replaced with an artificial turf.
