Central Stadium
Description:
Central Stadium is considered municipal property of the city. It accommodates over 10,000 fans. The Volgograd arena consists of two stands, which are divided into 11 sectors. Repairs were carried out several times. Last before the 2008 European Championship. Then it was assumed that some games will be held in Volgograd, but suddenly the competition itself moved to another country. Now Volgograd officials are hoping that the 2018 World Cup games will definitely take place in their city.
In addition to the home team, the arena met mastodons of football - the French from Bordeaux, the Italians from Lazio, and the English from Manchester United.
In addition to sports competitions, a Cuban revolutionary performed at the stadium. Fidel Castro visited Volgograd the following year after the stadium opened. The politician gathered full stands. Exactly the same sold out 20 years later and the group Deep Purple.
