The name of “Yekaterinburg Arena” is temporary. Before the World Cup in 2018 the main stadium of the capital of the Urals was simply called “Tsentralny”. This name will be returned to the stadium after the tournament. Despite the simplicity of the name, the “Tsentralny” stadium itself is not so simple. It is an architectural monument in the style of Stalinist neoclassicism, included into the list of cultural heritage of regional importance.

The location of “Fisht” stadium is convenient for tourists. First of all, it is located almost on the coast of the Black Sea. A walk from the stadium to the sea makes up 15 minutes: you should just bypass the fence around the Olympic Park

A new six-lane bridge with impressive intersections leading to the stadium was erected to replace the old Voroshilovsky bridge during the construction of the “Rostov Arena” stadium. The huge area around the arena has been turned into a large park with a quay longer than one kilometer.

The construction of the “St. Petersburg” stadium is a 10-year-long saga. It began in 2006 with the demolition of the legendary “Kirova Stadium” built on that spot in the middle of the 20th century, designed by the architect Aleksandr Nikolsky.

The official name of the home stadium of the Moscow “Spartak” football team features the general sponsor of the team - the “Otkritie” bank. During the time of the World Cup 2018 an exception will be made: the “Arena Otkritiye” stadium will be temporarily renamed as “Spartak”.

You can get to the “Kazan Arena” Football Stadium” stop located at a 5 minutes walk from the stadium by public transport.
