History
Saint Petersburg's new, super-modern stadium is being built on the site of the Kirov Stadium on Krestovsky Island, which, in its day, was one of the country's largest stadiums, with a capacity of 110,000. The tender to build Saint Petersburg Stadium was won by the renowned Japanese architect Kisho Kurosawa.

Design
The architect's vision for Saint Petersburg Stadium is of a spaceship that has landed on the shores of the Gulf of Finland. The seven-storey building will be 56.6 metres high. Technologically, Saint Petersburg Stadium will be one of the world's most modern arenas. Equipped with a retractable roof and a sliding pitch, it will be able to host any type of event at any time of year - even in winter, the temperature inside the stadium will be 15 degrees Celsius.

Legacy
The stadium will be home to Zenit St. Petersburg. It will be able to host many different types of events, from concerts and shows to competitions in a whole range of sports. In 2020, the arena will host three matches in the group stage of Euro 2020, as well as one of the competition's quarter-finals.
