Construction of Mordovia Arena

2018

The Mordovia Arena is a football stadium in Saransk, the capital of the Republic of Mordovia in central Russia. It was built for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, at a time when Saransk was one of the smaller cities chosen as a host. The stadium stands on the bank of the Insar River. During the tournament it staged group-stage matches, and part of its seating was temporary and was removed afterwards to reduce capacity. Its later use has been mainly for local football and events, a common question for stadiums built for the World Cup in smaller cities.
