Nizhny Novgorod Stadium is a recently opened new stadium in the city of Nizhny Novgorod that will be one of the playing venues of the 2018 World Cup. It furthermore replaced Lokomotiv Stadium as the home of FC Olimpiyets.

Nizhny Novgorod Stadium was part of the Russian bid to host the 2018 World Cup, and got confirmed in 2012 as one of the 12 playing venues. Construction of the stadium started in early 2015 and was completed three years later in 2018.

The stadium officially opened on 15 April 2018 with a league match between Olimpiyets and Zenith II.

Nizhny Novgorod Stadium’s design has been inspired by the nature of the Volga region, and consists of a semi-transparent facade that can be lit up at night.

During the World Cup, Nizhny Novgorod Stadium is scheduled to host four first round group matches, one round of 16 match, and one quarter-final.

Nizhny Novgorod Stadium is being built at a site in central Nizhny Novgorod on the west bank of the river Volga where the Oka and Volga rivers come together.
