history

The Nizhny Novgorod Peninsula Pechorskije peski ( Russian Печёрские пески ) was initially planned as the location . However, the plan was abandoned because of excessive costs. In August-September 2011 the organizing committee of the soccer world championship decided on the current location.

After the start of the first work in December 2014, the foundation stone was laid in March 2015 . The completion of the World Cup venue was announced on December 25, 2017. It received approval for match operations from FIFA on March 23, 2018. It was to be inaugurated on April 15 of that year with the opening game between Olimpiyets Nizhny Novgorod and the second team from Zenit Saint Petersburg . However, not all of the spaces could be used because minor work still had to be carried out. The construction costs should be around 252 million euros, which would be 20 million more than originally estimated.
