Football Krasnodar so far can not compete with Moscow teams and St. Petersburg “Zenith” in terms of the struggle for the championship in the Premier League, however, there can be no doubt that this city loves the game of millions. The local clubs “Kuban” and “Krasnodar” are a kind of third power in the Russian championship, and football stadiums in Krasnodar take full stands of spectators at almost every championship match. However, now it’s not only the championship, the successes of both teams in recent years give them the right to take part in the tournament held under the auspices of the UEFA - Europa League.
Football stadiums in Krasnodar
Until recently, both Krasnodar teams held their home fights at the Kuban stadium, which was built in the post-war years of the last century. This situation is not convenient for clubs when drawing up a calendar of matches, but history knows many examples when teams from one city spent a long time at home in the general arena (Inter and Milan, Juventus and Torino, etc.). d.)
In 2016, the new football stadium of FC Krasnodar was opened, where, in fact, the team of the same name moved.
Stadium "Kuban"
The home arena of the club of the same name is ready to accommodate a little more than 35 thousand spectators in its stands; according to this indicator, the building is included in the TOP-5 of the most capacious stadiums in Russia. At the end of the last century and at the beginning of the new Kuban, it underwent global reconstructions twice, as a result of which new seats of increased comfort appeared on the stands, a new digital display was installed, racetracks along the field were changed, the arena's design got a new modern look. At different times, the Kuban stadium hosted matches for the Russian Super Bowl, as well as friendly international matches.
Stadium "Krasnodar"
The leaders of the new project, obviously, did not come up with fanciful names for the arena preparing for the opening, and therefore, the stadiums in Krasnodar will continue to bear the names of the teams conducting their home fights on them.
Krasnodar was designed in accordance with modern design and safety requirements with the participation of engineers from Germany. The construction has a modern look, a parking lot for 3,000 parking spaces, and a private park. The highlight of the new stadium is a huge 3D screen with an area of 4.7 square meters. km The arena is designed for 34,000 seats.
In the opening match, which took place in October 2016, the Russian national football team hosted the Costa Rica national team. In the same autumn, stadiums in Krasnodar hosted the Europa League home matches, in particular, at the Krasnodar team of the same name played with the German Schalke 04.
