History and description

The Fisht Olympic Stadium was built to serve as the central location for the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. The stadium hosted both the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympics. The stadium lacked an original purpose after the games, but it was chosen as one of the playing venues for the 2018 World Cup. For this, additional seating had to be installed in order to make up for the closed roof, and work on the project was completed in late 2016.

During the 2018 World Cup, Fisht Olympic Stadium hosted four games, one match in the round of 16, and the quarter-final between Croatia and Russia (2-2).

Fisht Olympic Stadium was one of the playing venues of the 2017 Confederations Cup. It hosted one of the two semi-finals.

Until 2018, the stadium was unused. However, in 2018, PFC Sochi founded their club and started playing there.
