Arak's football ground carries the name of the man who defined the republic itself. It opened in 2007 on Kashani Street and has hosted whichever of the city's clubs needed a home — Shahrdari Arak and Sanaye Arak both played their fixtures here before Aluminium Arak took it over as tenant in November 2021.

There is no earlier name attached to the ground — it has stayed as built, a natural grass pitch holding 15,000. What gives it its identity locally is less the structure than the tenant: Aluminium Arak's presence has turned it into the fixed point for the city's football rather than a venue shared uneasily between rival sides, as happened before the club settled in.

Its place has occasionally been muddled s that confuse it with a similarly named stadium near Eslamshahr, but the balance of sources, from Wikipedia to Iranian news agency ISNA, fixes it firmly in Arak, in Markazi province — a detail that matters more for record-keeping than for anyone who has actually stood on Kashani Street watching a match there.
