History & description

The VTB Arena is the recently opened new stadium of FC Dynamo. First plans for the stadium were published in the summer of 2010 and showed a new stadium to be built on the site of the old Dynamo Stadium that had closed in 2008. Part of the facade, which is listed as a monument, was to be preserved in the new stadium design, though most of the old stadium would be demolished.

The VTB Bank is leading a billion dollar project that includes construction of a football stadium, indoor arena, and several real-estate projects. The total value of the project is $1.5 billion.

The demolition of the old stadium started in late 2011 and was completed in 2012. Construction of the new arena began after that, but it took until late 2018 for it to open.

Whereas the stadium opened on December 20, 2018 with an opening ceremony, it took until May 26th of that year for the stadium to be fully completed and the first match to be played. The first match was a league match between Dynamo and Arsenal Tula (3-3).

How to get to the VTB Arena

The VTB Arena is located in central Moscow. It is about 5 kilometers north-west of the city's center and lies on Leningradsky Avenue, one of the main roads in the city. The stadium lies 2 kilometers north from Belorussky railway station, which is just north of the arena. CSKA's VEB Arena is located a bit further up the road. The stadium is easily reached by Metro. Stations Dinamo and Petrovsky Park are located right next to the stadium. Dinamo station is on the green line 2 that runs right through Moscow's centre. Petrovsky Park is on line 8A and 11, which don't connect to any central areas but can be useful if connecting from other lines.
