Kaliningrad Stadium (Russian: Стадион Калининград), known for sponsorship reasons as the Rostec Arena (Russian: Ростех Арена) since August 2023, is a football stadium on Oktyabrsky Island, Kaliningrad, Russia, which hosted four games of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.[2] It hosts FC Baltika Kaliningrad of the Russian Premier League, replacing Baltika Stadium.[3]
Its project is based on the concept of the Allianz Arena, which hosted matches of the 2006 World Cup in Germany. The first match was played on 11 April 2018, a football match between FC Baltika and PFC Krylia Sovetov Samara.[4]
