Kaliningrad Stadium, generally known as Arena Baltika, is a proposed association football (soccer) stadium which will be built in Kaliningrad, Russia in time for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. It will also host FC Baltika Kaliningrad of the Russian First Division, replacing Baltika Stadium.
This will be a two-tier stadium, equipped with ultramodern security systems and CCTV. The project is based on the concept of the Allianz Arena, which hosted matches of the 2006 World Cup in Germany. The project cost is planned around 11 billion rubles. Commissioning is planned in 2017. The stadium following the 2018 World Cup will turn into 25,000 seating capacity and part of the roof will be retracted.
