Rodina Stadium (FC Spartak Cherenkov Training Base)
Moscow, Russia
Formerly: Zenit, Almaz, Spartak named after Igor Netto, Spartakovets named after N.P. Starostin
I. A. Netto, then in 2014 became Spartakovets im. N. P. Starostin after a sale to a private investor. Since 2021 it has belonged to businessman Sergei Lomakin and serves as the home of FC Rodina, taking the name it carries now.
The heaviest work came in 2007, when a full reconstruction brought the stadium up to Premier League standard for FC Khimki's top-flight campaign, reopening on 17 March that year with temporary stands that pushed capacity past ten thousand. Those stands came down again in 2013 to make room for running tracks. A second overhaul, tied to World Cup preparations in 2017–2018, briefly cut capacity to just 500 seats before it was restored in November 2018.
What the ground plays on today is heated artificial turf , and what it is used for is training and academy football rather than top-flight fixtures — the pitch belongs to FC Rodina's academy, classified 3A, built for development squads rather than crowds. Its capacity is quoted differently depending on where you look, running from under three thousand to just over five thousand seats, a spread that owes something to how many times the stands themselves have been built, dismantled and rebuilt.
