history

Picture of the main entrance with the old name

In 1930 the stadium was built and opened; at that time still under the name Стадион завода "Ростсельмаш" ( German  Rostselmasch Fabrik Stadion ). Rostselmasch , based in Rostov-on-Don, is now the largest manufacturer of agricultural machinery in Eastern Europe. It had this name until 1996, after which it was only called «Ростсельмаш» ( German  Rostselmasch ) and in 2002 it was renamed Olimp-21 vek ( German  Olympus-21st century ). Since 2005 it has had its current name Olimp-2 . In the 1950s, the stadium capacity increased to the previous maximum of around 32,000 seats.

In the early 2000s, the transformation into a pure football stadium began. The new main grandstand in the west was built. At the end of 2002, the old south stand was torn down and replaced by a modern new building. Construction work did not begin until January 2008, however. In December 2008, the new spectator area in the south was completed, but has only 3500 seats instead of the originally planned 7000 seats. The construction project cost 56.9 million rubles . The floodlight system , built in 2001, can be set to three levels with 800, 1,000 and 1,200 lux for training, league games and international matches. There is a shopping center in the west stand.

On May 16, 2010, the 2010 Russian soccer cup final was held in the Rostov stadium. For the first time, a cup final did not take place in the capital Moscow. Zenit Saint Petersburg won the game against FK Sibir Novosibirsk 1-0. 600 additional VIP seats and 100 journalist seats were set up for the encounter .

For the 2018 FIFA World Cup has been Rostov arena built with 45,145 seats. It is the new home ground of FK Rostov. For this, the space will be reduced to 37,885 after the World Cup tournament.
