ArmInfo.  On May 5, RA Minister of Education, Science, Culture, and Sports Zhanna Andreasyan met with representatives of the international organization VenueEra Holding,  headed by CEO Jan Jents. The MESCS press service reported this.

The source notes that the company is involved in the construction of  Category IV stadiums in Ijevan and Vanadzor. Zhanna Andreasyan  emphasized the importance of stadium construction and reconstruction  ahead of the 2029 FIFA World Youth Championship, recalling that the  International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA) approved the  joint bid of Armenia and Georgia. Games in the tournament will be  held in Yerevan, Vanadzor, and Ijevan. The Minister emphasized that  the project is strategically important not only for the development  of sports infrastructure but also for regional tourism and  infrastructure improvement. Therefore, the work must be completed on  time and to a high standard, in accordance with international  standards.

During the meeting, the key stages of the project's implementation  were discussed, as well as compliance with FIFA and UEFA technical  requirements. It was noted that, according to current regulations,  stadiums must be operational no later than six months before the  start of the tournament.

A number of infrastructure issues were also discussed, including  access roads, logistics, water supply, fire safety systems, and the  possibility of expanding adjacent territories. It was noted that an  interdepartmental working group, comprising all responsible agencies,  will be formed to ensure the effective implementation of the project.  As a reminder, the Armenian government previously allocated funds for  the construction of a UEFA-compliant football stadium in the  Getahovit settlement of the Ijevan community in the Tavush region, as  well as for the reconstruction of the Vanadzor stadium and its  compliance with UEFA Category 4 standards. The stadiums in Vanadzor  and Ijevan will become modern sports centers of regional  significance, each with a capacity of approximately 10,000  spectators.

The international organization VenueERA Holding designs and builds  renowned UEFA Category 4 stadiums, including the Puskas Arena  football stadium in Budapest, the King Abdullah Sports City stadium  in Saudi Arabia, and the Gazprom Arena stadium in St. Petersburg.
