11 December, 2017

Saint Petersburg city centre is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Tourism is one of the key sectors of the city’s economy. Saint Petersburg welcomes up to five million tourists each year, more than any other city in Russia.

In the same artistic tradition, a new state-of-the-art 69,000-seat stadium is being constructed on Krestovsky Island facing the Baltic Sea. Resembling a spaceship, it was designed by the famous architect Kisho Kurokawa. The stadium will have a retractable pitch, ensuring that the quality of the turf remains high regardless of the weather.
The stadium became home for FC Zenit. Here it will be possible to hold events of a variety of formats - from concerts and shows to competitions in a variety of sports. In 2020, the arena will take three matches of the group stage and the quarterfinals of the UEFA EURO 2020.
