Arena FC Krasnodar

The new stadium of FC Krasnodar was designed by the architecture office gmp architects from Germany and the Russian office Speech Architecture. The monumental façade of the elliptical stadium is a total of 43 meters high and covered with light-colored travertine. Still under construction, the stadium has already been nicknamed the “Krasnodar Coliseum”, because of its columns spread over three levels of the façade, which strongly resembles the ancient Roman Coliseum.
