Russia won the right to host the final stage of the 2018 World Cup. Our country will have to prepare a number of construction projects by this time. In this regard, the construction of a major sports facility in Tatarstan - the Kazan Arena is of great importance. The stadium has a universal football purpose. The local club Rubin spends his home games on it. The infrastructure of this facility meets all the requirements for servicing sporting events of international level. Therefore, the Rubin stadium was able to host the participants of the 2018 World Cup.
Start of construction
On May 5, 2010, a solemn ceremony was held at which the first stone was laid in the foundation of the future Kazan Arena. The then Prime Minister of the country V. Putin took part in it. In his speech, he noted the important role that the Rubin stadium should play in the fight for the 2018 World Cup. Since the start of work, the construction site has been repeatedly inspected by FIFA representatives.
Stadium project
The construction site was chosen in the Novo-Savinovsky district of the city between Yamashev Avenue and ul. Chistopol. An architectural bureau called Populous worked on the project. At that time, they already had rich experience in creating such structures. They owe the merit of creating London facilities: Emirates and Wembley. In Russia, the company Populous is also known for its work on the project of the Sochi stadium Fisht, which gained worldwide fame after the Olympics. The construction in Kazan, according to the authors, was to embody all the trends of modern architectural thought. The arena with its contours is like a water lily. A photo of the new Rubin stadium displays its smooth smooth features. This appearance should harmoniously fit the arena into the local landscape of the embankment of the Kazanka River.
