Lineuper Arena
An 18,400-seat ground in the heart of Tbilisi: key facts, stands, directions and accessibility information.
The home of the line-up
Lineuper Arena has stood on the same plot since 1962. It has been enlarged twice and fully rebuilt once, in 2019, but it keeps the proportions that make it famous: steep stands, a pitch only six metres from the front row, and a roof that traps every chant. With 18,400 seats it is among the most atmospheric grounds in the country.

Getting there
By metro
Take the red line to Rustaveli station. From there the ground is an eight-minute walk along the avenue; follow the crimson scarves.
By bus and taxi
City buses 37 and 61 stop at the arena gate. On match days a taxi rank operates behind the west stand from two hours before kick-off.
By car
Parking around the stadium is closed on match days. We recommend the park-and-walk lots at the Vake side, which are signposted from the ring road.
Accessibility
The 2019 rebuild was designed around the simple idea that every supporter should be able to reach every match. Step-free entrances are at gates 2, 5 and 7. There are 120 wheelchair positions with companion seats across all four stands, and induction loops at the ticket office. A quiet sensory room in the east stand is available on request for supporters who find crowds overwhelming.
Guide dogs are welcome. Please contact the ticket office at tickets@fclineuper.ge at least 48 hours before a match to book an accessible space or arrange assistance.
Match-day rules
Gates open two hours before kick-off. Bags larger than A4 are not permitted, and tickets are checked digitally at every gate. The full list of regulations is available in the club documents section of this website.
