"The Legendary Stadium" – that's how people speak of "Luzhniki." Why is it so popular? Let us tell you! The largest stadium in Russia was opened in 1956 and almost faced demolition. Due to non-compliance with FIFA's requirements, there was a proposal to build a new facility. However, Moscow authorities decided against demolition and instead carried out a reconstruction that preserved the stadium's historic appearance. Now it can hold 81,000 people! Many significant events have taken place within these walls: the 2018 FIFA World Cup, hockey championships in 1957, 1973, 1979, and 1986, seven Spartakiads, the 1973 Universiade, and many other competitions. Let's not forget the 1980 Olympic Games – it was here that the famous Olympic Bear, the mascot of the competition, soared into the sky during the closing ceremony. But "Luzhniki" isn't just about sports, it's also about music! "Kino" performed their final concert here, as did Scorpions, The Rolling Stones, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Imagine Dragons, Rammstein, and many other world-famous musicians. "Luzhniki" can be visited with a guided tour, giving you the chance to feel like a VIP guest, spectator, or participant in sports competitions. You'll visit exclusive parts of the stadium that are off-limits during events.
