Sportcomplex Zvezdny: Stadium in Astrakhan

**Sportcomplex Zvezdny** stands in the Sovetsky District rather than as a destination in itself. The complex opened for Astrakhan's 450th anniversary in 2008, constructed by Austrian engineers Alois Glöckel Höhlbau Gesellschaft mbH. It is not a football stadium — FC Volgar Astrakhan plays at Central Stadium, which has natural grass and seats 18,000.

The main arena covers 3,000 square meters with parquet flooring. The venue includes multiple swimming pools: a 50-metre pool, a diving pool, and a children's pool. The water park operated here from 2013 until 2026, when it closed for technical reasons. Capacity is consistently reported as 5,000 seats across ticketing platforms, though a 2024 European Women's Handball Championship bidding document listed 6,000.

The complex serves as the home arena for handball clubs HC Astrakhanochka and HC Zarya Kaspiya. It hosts concerts and various sports competitions including acrobatics, fitness, gymnastics, and dance sports. Outside the main building are outdoor sports courts.

The address is 147 Nikolay Ostrovsky Street. No former names were identified.
