Volgograd Arena ⚽ FIFA World Cup 2018 ⚽ FIFA 2018 Stadium's ⚽ Russia.⚽ Волгоградская Арена ⚽ Stadium

Russia is hosting FIFA World Cup 2018. They have built a couple of new brand stadium for FIFA world cup.

Volgograd Arena is a football stadium in Volgograd, Russia. The stadium is one of the venues for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. It also hosts FC Rotor Volgograd. It has a capacity of 45,568 spectators.

Volgograd Arena, which will replace the former Rotor stadium, is being built between the Volga and Prospekt Lenina, on the crest of a hill sloping down to the river, next to the city’s main park and close to the Mamaev Kurgan memorial.

The stadium’s architecture and spatial design clearly prioritize profitable mixed-use, but the core of the sport is fully FIFA-compliant.

On the outside, Volgograd Arena is shaped like an overturned truncated cone 49.5m tall and about 303m in diameter. The down-tapering façades are a corollary to the imperative need of fitting the building compactly into the available piece of land.

The stadium’s designers clearly aimed to achieve the ultimately rational architectural solutions.

The roof above the stalls will rest on a cable frame, arranged in a “bicycle wheel” pattern.

The crisscrossing diagonal elements form enclosed rhomboid shapes of different height and width between them. Inside, those rhomboids are split into smaller parts, in order to produce the desired architectural composition.

Volgograd Arena is shaped like an overturned truncated cone 49.5m tall and about 303m in diameter
The plan is for Volgograd Arena to be also used as a venue for diverse cultural events and entertainments: festivities, concerts, expos, and so on. A health centre will be opened on the premises of the stadium.

England fans and FA officials lay wreaths in Volgograd

Two England fans, James Lockett and Billy Grant, alongside Harpreet Robertson from the England Supporters Club (left) paid tribute at the memorial in central Volgograd this morning. The ceremony took place ahead of England's opening World Cup game against Tunisia tonight at 7pm as 2,000 fans flooded into the city (inset). Security is tight at the city's railway station (top right) with more than a dozen England fans turned out to watch the service at the city's Hall of Military Glory, in the heart of the Mamayev Kurgan memorial park commemorating the Battle of Stalingrad. The city, formerly called Stalingrad and named after dictator Josef Stalin, was renamed Volgograd in 1961 as the Soviet Union attempted to reduce his 'cult of personality.' Only 2,500 fans have travelled to the Russian city of Volgograd for tonight's Group G clash, (bottom right, Mr Grant with two Tunisia fans) with many choosing to stay at home amid fears over violence from football hooligans. Around 3,000 Tunisia fans will outnumber the Three Lions support in the 45,568-capacity stadium, but fan Pete Courts vowed: 'We'll make as much noise as 50,000.'

Mamayev Kurgan (Мамаев курган) Volgograd Tours - Wolgograd Victory Day Parade #Volgograd

Mamayev Kurgan (Russian: Мамаев курган) is a dominant height overlooking the city of Volgograd (formerly Stalingrad) in Southern Russia. The name in Russian means tumulus of Mamai. The formation is dominated by a memorial complex commemorating the Battle of Stalingrad (August 1942 to February 1943). The battle, a hard-fought Soviet victory over Axis forces on the Eastern front of World War II, arguably turned into the bloodiest battle in human history. At the time of its installation in 1967 the statue named The Motherland Calls on Mamayev Kurgan formed the largest free-standing sculpture in the world as of 2016 it is the tallest sculpture of a woman in the world.
After the war, the Soviet authorities commissioned the enormous Mamayev Kurgan memorial complex. Vasily Chuikov, who led Soviet forces at Stalingrad, lies buried at Mamayev Kurgan, the first Marshal of the Soviet Union to be buried outside Moscow. Soviet sniper Vasily Zaytsev was also reburied there in 2006.
The monumental memorial was constructed between 1959 and 1967, and is crowned by a huge allegorical statue of the Motherland on the top of the hill. The monument, designed by Yevgeny Vuchetich, has the full name The Motherland Calls! (Russian: Родина-мать зовёт! Rodina Mat Zovyot!). It consists of a concrete sculpture, 52 metres tall, and 82 metres from the feet to the tip of the 27-metre sword, dominating the skyline of the city of Stalingrad (later renamed Volgograd).
The construction uses concrete, except for the stainless-steel blade of the sword, and is held on its plinth solely by its own weight. The statue is evocative of classical Greek representations of Nike, in particular the flowing drapery, similar to that of the Nike of Samothrace.


Visit Wolgograd formerly known as Stalingrad - We will join the Victory Day Parade in Wolgograd and celebrate 9th of May with the locals. We also going to see the war memorials and war cemetery.
Join us on a wonderful history tour to Russia and Russian culture.

The celebration of Victory Day continued during subsequent years. The war became a topic of great importance in cinema, literature, history lessons at school, the mass media, and the arts. The ritual of the celebration gradually obtained a distinctive character with a number of similar elements: ceremonial meetings, speeches, lectures, receptions and fireworks.

In 2015 around 30 leaders, including those of China and India, attended the 2015 celebration, while Western leaders boycotted the ceremonies because of the Russian military intervention in Ukraine.

The last of these refits has been made for the 2018 FIFA World Cup™. On each occasion, however, the stadium's historical façade remained untouched, as an architectural legacy. Architectural and decorative features typical of Soviet neo-Classicism were used lavishly in the construction of the stands, along with decorative art in the form of sculptures, vases and banners.

England fans pay respects to 2m who died in WW2's Battle of Stalingrad

England fans pay respects to 2m who died in WW2's Battle of Stalingrad

England football fans have this morning laid a wreath in memory of the Soviet war dead in a ceremony to honour the two million victims of the Battle of Stalingrad.

Two supporters, James Lockett and Billy Grant, were among an official party who paid tribute at the memorial in central Volgograd today.

The ceremony took place ahead of England's opening World Cup game against Tunisia tonight at 7pm as 2,000 fans flooded into the city.

More than a dozen England fans turned out to watch the service at the city's Hall of Military Glory, in the heart of the Mamayev Kurgan memorial park commemorating the Battle of Stalingrad.

The city, named after former dictator Josef Stalin, was renamed in 1961 as part of a programme of de-stalinisation by Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev to try and reduce his 'cult of personality.'

England football fans have this morning laid a wreath in memory of the Soviet war dead in a ceremony to honour the two million victims of the Battle of Stalingrad.

Two supporters, James Lockett and Billy Grant, were among an official party who paid tribute at the memorial in central Volgograd today.

The ceremony took place ahead of England's opening World Cup game against Tunisia tonight at 7pm as 2,000 fans flooded into the city.

More than a dozen England fans turned out to watch the service at the city's Hall of Military Glory, in the heart of the Mamayev Kurgan memorial park commemorating the Battle of Stalingrad.

The city, named after former dictator Josef Stalin, was renamed in 1961 as part of a programme of de-stalinisation by Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev to try and reduce his 'cult of personality.'

A huge monument known as The Motherland Calls looms on the hill overlooking the Volgograd Arena and the memorial park is a short walk away from the stadium.

The city is also twinned with Coventry, after women from the Midlands city wrote to express support during the war.

Ms Skoll wrote in a book of commemoration: 'May our bonds between the people of the UK and Russia remain forever strong and enduring.'

She said: 'As you know the links between the UK and this great city are strong and enduring.
They were forged during the Second World War, with shared experience of destruction and devastation and immense bravery, and started by 900 women in Coventry, who sent messages of support and solidarity to their sisters in Stalingrad.'

Ms Skoll spoke about shared values between the two nations.

And she added: 'Given the immense suffering of Volgograd and the pivotal part it played in the route towards victory I think it's only fitting that the 2018 World Cup should have Volgograd as one of its host cities, after all Volgograd today plays host to people from all over the world including Great Britain, who are here in peace and with a common purpose.'

The Queen Mother was made an honorary citizen of the southern Russian city.

Mr Grant, a Brentford fan who lives in north London, said he was 'very honoured' to be representing England at the event.

He said: 'Obviously Russian soldiers that were killed in the great battle - it means a lot to them, it means a lot to us.

'I'm into football, you're into football but when you have an event like this you realise it's more than just football.

'People have given up their lives and for us we need to pay respect to the people that have done that because that was a very important moment in World War Two.'

Meanwhile England fans are expected to leave work early tonight as World Cup fever grips the nation with millions heading to the pub for the opening game.

Rush hour chaos will begin earlier than usual as supporters race home or out for drinks at heir local to watch the clash with Tunisia which kicks off at 7pm.

Experts predicted that Britons will drink 14million extra pints at the pub, with the British Beer and Pub Association estimating a £42million boost to the economy.

Only 2,500 fans have travelled to the Russian city of Volgograd for tonight's Group G clash, with many choosing to stay at home amid fears over violence from football hooligans.

History Of Ukraine

Before written history, Neanderthals inhabited the territory of the future '''Ukraine''' for at least 44,000 years. Prehistoric Ukraine, as part of the Pontic steppe, has played an important role in Eurasian cultural contacts, including the spread of the Chalcolithic, the Bronze Age, Indo-European expansion and the domestication of the horse. Part of Scythia in antiquity and settled by Getae, in the migration period, Ukraine is also the site of early Slavic expansion, and enters history proper with the establishment of the medieval state of Kievan Rus, which emerged as a powerful nation in the Middle Ages but disintegrated in the 12th century. After the middle of the 14th century, present-day Ukrainian territories came under the rule of three external powers:
