Kazan Arena

The KAZAN ARENA STADIUM

The KAZAN ARENA STADIUM (RUBIN PARK ARENA) — this is a unique stadium, as well as an entertainment complex, which is located in Kazan (Tatarstan). The opening of the arena was held in 2013. The capacity of the stadium is considered to be one of the largest throughout the country – more than 45,000 spectators. This stadium is a local arena for the Kazan football team “Rubin”. By its appearance, the structure is one of the most beautiful in the whole world. Here everything is highly technological, thoughtful and modern. An architect from Australia worked on the project. He also designed Fisht, a park in Luzhniki.

The city of Kazan, thanks to the appearance of such a universal architectural structure, has significantly changed. In addition, unofficially it is called the sports capital of the country. Before the famous Universiade, the infrastructure of the city was adjusted, all parks and places for rest were put in order. The Kazan club has always been one of the leaders among football clubs, not recognizing the capital’s authorities. Naturally, it is obvious that Kazan has become one of the very first cities in relation to which the question of hosting the World Cup was raised. In addition to the fact that the stadium “Kazan Arena” is one of the most beautiful, it is one of the safest in the world. Without a doubt, after the football championship, the arena will find its application. After all, there is a strong club “Ruby”, which has repeatedly won the championship of the country.

The silhouette of the stadium is like a lily. This is due to the stylobate. Such an architectural solution is simply a masterpiece. People go to the second floor of the stadium and then sit down at different levels. It is at the expense of the stairs that lead to the stylobate that the impression is created, looking at the stadium from above that it is a flower – a lily.

“Kazan Arena” will host the group matches of the 2018 World Cup, 1/8 and 1/4 finals.
All who visited this unique stadium in one voice say that the arena is fascinating not for its scale, but for comfort. The arena is called a “city in the city” and it is symbolic, because inside the stadium is its own life, its metropolis. A huge number of podtribunnyh rooms, cafes and much more. But for the time of the World Cup all these institutions will be temporarily closed.

The stadium was built around the clock in three shifts. Therefore, the construction of this arena is considered one of the fastest. Without a doubt, to every fan of football and just a tourist, it will be fascinating and interesting to get acquainted with such a beautiful building closer. None of the tourists left the city without taking pictures with such a stunning landmark and pride of the city as the “Kazan Arena”.
