The Stadium
Where MFM is played — the V.G. Mumzhiev Stadium, the largest sports venue in Gagauzia.
Comrat Stadium named after Mumzhiev
The largest sports facility in Gagauzia and the home ground of FC Gagauzia and FC Mayak. A full-size 105×68 m pitch built to international standard, ringed by six 400-metre running lanes, with seating for 5,400 spectators.
Built in 2011–2012
Raised on the site of an ordinary football field with funds from the Executive Committee of Gagauzia, at a reconstruction cost of 15 million lei. The works laid a new artificial surface, erected the stands and added an indoor sports hall.
During the Turkish President’s visit in October 2018, the downdraft from his helicopter damaged the stadium roof — after which Turkey allocated funds for its restoration.
Named after Viktor Mumzhiev
Viktor Georgievich Mumzhiev chaired the Comrat collective farm in the 1950s–60s and did much for sport in the city. Under him, the local collective-farm team won the Cup of Moldova in 1959.
A living sports hub
More than 150 students of the Comrat Sports Lyceum train here every day — the wrestling, boxing, taekwondo and football departments all use it as their main base.
