The travel route of a real football fan in Russia cannot do without a visit to the capital of the country. Let’s tell you which locations you definitely need to visit.
“VTB Arena”
The peculiarity of VTB Arena is that it houses a hockey field and a football field. FC Dynamo hosts home matches here. With the “Parimatch” bonus, you can bet on matches of this and other RPL teams. The promo code is available at the link: https://www.vseprosport.kz/bonusy-bukmekerov/parimatch.kz .
The PLA Arena was built on the site of the old Dynamo stadium. The spirit of the time when the stadium was considered the epicenter of social life lives here and now. The recognizable facade with porticos also reminds of the past.
In Petrovsky Park, next to the arena, there is a legendary monument to Lev Yashin flying after the ball.
Luzhniki Stadium
On the way to the arena, we recommend visiting the Walk of Fame with monuments to legendary Soviet athletes Eduard Streltsov, Lev Yashin and Nikolai Starostin.
“Luzhniki” is now included in the list of the best stadiums on the planet. It hosted the finals of the Champions League, the UEFA Cup and the 2018 World Cup. A particularly impressive sight opens onto the arena from the observation deck of the Vorobyovy Gory.
If you want to watch football at Luzhniki Stadium, but there is not much money, then you can search for the schedule of amateur matches.
Red Square
The Red Square is included in this list for a reason. In the summer of 1936, a game significant for the entire football history of the country took place here. A felt carpet was laid directly on the legendary paving stones (its length was 120 meters), and the opponents were the first and second teams of Spartak. The event was timed to coincide with the first season of the USSR Top League.
Many foreign football stars, including Alex Ferguson, Ryan Giggs, Ronaldo and many others, were also photographed on Red Square. You can find these pictures on the Internet and try to repeat them.
