Mordovia
Arena , Saransk
Capacity: 45,000 seats
Opening: 2018
Mordovia Arena is set to be one of the most colorful arenas
in the 2018 World Cup with its orange,
red, and white exterior. Although construction began in 2010, numerous delays,
mainly due to a lack of funding, meant that the stadium was not finished until
late 2017. With an initial capacity of 45,000 for the World Cup, the upper tier will be removed and transformed
into a walkable concourse once it becomes the home stadium of FC Mordovia
Saransk of the Russian Premier League.

Kazan
Arena, Kazan
Capacity: 45,000
seats
Opening: 2013
Located
510 miles from Moscow, the Kazan Arena was
completed in the summer of 2013 to serve as the host venue for the Summer
Universidade, an international multi-sport event for university athletes. This
arena also hosted a portion of the competitions at the 2015 World Aquatics
Championships, for which the field was replaced by two large swimming
pools. If this stadium looks familiar, it's because it
was spearheaded by Populous,
who also designed the new Wembley and Arsenal's Emirates Stadium.

Capacity: 48,000
seats
Opening: 2013
Located
on the Black Sea, Sochi is the longest city in Europe,
with an urban area stretching around 140 kilometers from end to end. The
stadium was built as the main venue for the 2014 Winter Olympics, which
explains why the stadium's form resembles snowy, sloping mountain peaks. The
open ends of the stadium, which once allowed for views of the Krasnaya Polyana
mountains and the Black sea, have been filled with temporary seating to
accommodate the World Cup crowds.

Capacity: 67,000
seats
Opening: 2017
Known
typically as the Krestovsky Stadium or Zenit Arena, this venue will be dubbed
the Saint Petersburg Stadium when it hosts the World Cup matches.

redesign to comply with FIFA requirements and investors pulling from the
project, the stadium was completed in 2017, just in time for the Confederations
Cup. Equipped with a sliding field and retractable roof, the stadium is one of
the most technologically advanced in the world. After the World Cup,
the stadium will be home to Zenit St. Petersburg, and will also host several

Capacity: 80,000

the stadium has hosted the 1980 Olympics, the 1999 UEFA Cup Final, and the Champions League
final, among other international events. To prepare for the 2018 World Cup, the stands have been divided into two tiers and the
athletic tracks have been removed. This arena is the site of the final World Cup match.
