Famous stadiums in Russia

Many residents of the country never thought about what the stadiums of Russia are. Of the broadcasts of a football match or other sports and cultural events, the time of showing the external beauties and the scale of the sports arena is extremely small. Only a relatively small number of people attend such events personally and can boast of their acquaintance with these beautiful architectural structures.

Olympic Fisht

All Russians perfectly remember the pride of the country and handsome - the central stadium of the Sochi 2014 Olympic Games with the original name "Fisht". Few Russian, and world's sports arenas can compete in aesthetics and engineering with this hero of the victorious for Russia Olympics.

The object received its name in honor of the mountain top of the Main Caucasian Range. The stadium also resembles its natural fellow of the same name. Has "Fisht" and other interesting features: a translucent roof and a special arrangement of spectator seats, so that the fans could see the sea in the south and the mountains in the north.

Football stadiums

The brightest and most famous in the country are the capital and recently constructed sports venues for the Sochi Olympics. The football stadiums of Russia have been unchanged leaders of the popularity rating among Russian fans for a long time already. Here, a significant part of the life of hundreds of thousands of fans of various sports teams. It is still the most popular sport in a huge country. After all, there is always a ball and a couple of gates that instill love for football of a lot of boys in the yards, even the most provincial city.

Many of the football facilities are in fact multifunctional. It is known that for the conduct of cultural events, such as the opening of any sports days or a musical concert, the number of spectators coming and the quality of the review of what is happening is better than not finding a place. More often than not, Russian stadiums that meet the requirements for serious sports events are, as intended, football and concurrent arenas for athletics competitions.

Like sports teams, stadiums can have their fans. Not every sports facility is played by someone's favorite team and not each of them is associated with something that makes you feel a special thrill when you are in the stands of your favorite building.

Stadiums for the World Cup

To hold such a large-scale tournament as the World Cup, it requires a lot of investment and the fulfillment of a lot of conditions of the International Football Federation FIFA from the host country of the championship. Are the stadiums of Russia ready for all the parameters to meet such requirements? And most importantly, will there be places ready for the main action. Also fans and fans to attend a mass event of this level are interested in the location of the arenas for the upcoming championship.

The cities and regions hosting the tournament are divided into clusters. It is they who will build, perhaps, the largest stadiums in Russia for holding football matches of the long-awaited derby. The following clusters and host cities of the 2018 Championship stand out:

• The central (capital) cluster, namely Moscow and Moscow region.
• North (more precisely, northwest) cluster: Peter and Kaliningrad.
• Ekaterinburg as a separate representative of the Urals.
• Rostov-on-Don together with Sochi and Krasnodar will form the Southern cluster.
• Volga cluster, consisting of such cities rich in football traditions of the Volga Federal District, as Samara and Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan and Volgograd, Saransk, and Yaroslavl.

It would seem that only in the capital of Russia can you find such a worthy sports facility, which would not even have to be changed to a world championship. But none of the stadium, as it turned out, does not meet such requirements. Even one of the most famous Russian stadiums - the arena "Luzhniki" will be significantly refurbished. To achieve the indicated FIFA condition, it lacks the number of seats. It is this sports facility that is honored to host the opening match, the 1/2 finals and the final match of the spectacle called the 2018 World Cup.

In addition to the "Luzhniki" stadiums "Spartak", "Dynamo" and one more in the Moscow region will be seriously modernized. One of the most expensive stadiums, improved or built from the ground up for the upcoming championship, will be Gazprom-Arena in the northern capital. Almost twice as expensive stadium, in comparison with the rest, will be able to receive up to 67 000 spectators and protect them from the weather by a sliding roof.

Russian experience in the construction of stadiums

Russia has already proved that it is able to build modern and impressive sports facilities from scratch in a relatively short time, along with communications and transport infrastructure where no one could imagine anything like this. The Olympics in Sochi showed what stadiums in Russia can be. After the Olympic Games, many functional arenas remained, from which new builders should take an example to follow. The Internet is full of projects under construction. But still new stadiums in Russia, photos and videos of which are generally available, I would like to see it live as soon as possible. This is a wonderful sight, and the whole country in anticipation of the upcoming sports festival.

"The Luzhniki"

The stadium began its work in 1956. It is one of the largest sports facilities in the world. The large arena includes a football field, 8-lane racetracks (circular 400-meter and 100-meter straight), a place for pushing the core and 10 places for athletics jumps. A unique stadium of its kind makes a visor over spectator seats. He is struck by the size and complexity of engineering thought.

In 2013, the sports facility was closed for reconstruction. In 2018, he will be ready to host the FIFA World Cup.
