Sirous Ghayeghran Stadium ( Persian: ورزشگاه سیروس قایقران, Vârzeshgah-e Sirous Ghayeghran) is a football stadium in Bandar-e Anzali, Iran. [2] It is the home stadium of Malavan.
Founded in 1953 as Diba Stadium, this stadium is one of the oldest stadiums in Iran [3] [4] and has been renamed twice. It was first named Takhti in 1981 in honor of the prominent Iranian wrestler ( Gholamreza Takhti), and for the second time, at the request of the team's fans in 2022, the name of the stadium was changed to honor club legend Sirous Ghayeghran.
