Kadrioru Staadion
Opened in 1926 as Kadriorg, it became Dünamo staadion under Soviet occupation and only reclaimed its original name in 1992, the year Estonia's national team played its first official match after independence was restored, a 1-1 draw with Slovenia.
The timber stand from the 1920s gave way to a reinforced concrete tribune in 1938, opened in the presence of Konstantin Päts, Estonia's first president. That structure, much altered since, still frames the pitch today.
On 22 June 1986 it hosted two world records in a single afternoon: Yuri Sedykh's hammer throw and Heike Drechsler's long jump. Tatyana Lysenko added another hammer record here in 2006.
The stadium is now home to Tallinna Kalev and Tallinna JK Legion, after FCI Levadia moved out in 2019. A reconstruction that began in 2024 is due to run until December 2027, timed to reach completion around the ground's hundredth anniversary.
