Roshchino Arena
Roshchino, Russia
Roshchino Arena does not sit in a city centre. It stands in the settlement of Roshchino, which the local press calls an urban-type settlement, and for a long time served as a training base rather than a home ground. The site was built from scratch between 2015 and 2018 for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, which changed its purpose entirely once the tournament ended. The stadium first hosted the Croatian national team, which stayed in the nearby Ilyichevo hotel complex, before becoming the permanent home of FC Leningradets.
The first significant change came after the club took over the venue. Initial plans for FC Tosno to use the site did not materialise, and FC Leningradets moved in for the 2020/2021 season. The club has since played its home matches in the Russian First League and Cup competitions here, and the venue also hosts regional matches for the Leningrad Oblast Championship and Cup. The highest recorded attendance at the ground was 1,200 spectators on June 7, 2019, during a Russia U-20 versus Argentina U-20 match that ended 1-2, a figure that exceeded the nominal capacity at the time.
The ground itself changed shape at the break in its development. A major reconstruction cost approximately 718 million rubles. Key changes included increasing the capacity from 500 to 1,534 seats and replacing the natural grass with an artificial turf surface equipped with a liquid heating system. The club plans to further expand the stands to 3,000 seats by 2027 to meet First League requirements.
