Kaliningrad Stadium is to be built for Russia 2018 on Oktyabrsky Island, right in the heart of Kaliningrad. The selection of Kaliningrad as a host city has prompted the local authorities to develop the island, which for many centuries has been a wilderness, left largely untouched. After the 2018 World Cup, a new residential development will be built around the stadium, with parks, quays and embankments alongside the Pregola river.
Kaliningrad Stadium will be multi-purpose. As well as football matches, it will host other sporting events and concerts.
After Russia 2018, FC Baltika Kaliningrad will play its home games at the stadium.
Capacity: 45,000 seats.
