Sport Sarajevo
Kazan, Russia
Formerly: Sports Palace, Sportsarae
The sports complex on Moskovskaya Street in Kazan is not a football ground. The name in the query confuses it with the city of Sarajevo in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but the venue described here is an indoor ice arena known as the Sportsarae. There is no football stadium by that name in Kazan. The Sportsarae was opened on 30 October 1966 and was built as a multi-purpose facility for ice hockey, figure skating and basketball. It served as the historical home of the ice hockey club Ak Bars Kazan until 2005, when the new Ak Bars Arena opened. It also hosted the Phoenix basketball team and significant events, including the club's first Russian Championship win in the 1997/1998 season. The capacity of the main ice arena is 3,345 seats according to Wikipedia, or 3,523 seats according to the official website. There is also a smaller ice rink within the complex with seating for 1,100. The surface is ice, artificially frozen, not a natural or hybrid grass pitch. The football stadium in Sarajevo, the Asim Ferhatović Hase Stadium, opened in 1947, has a capacity of 34,700 and features a hybrid grass surface. The Sportsarae remains an ice arena, not a football stadium.
