Tsentralnyi Profsoyuz Stadion, football stadium
The Tsentralnyi Profsoyuz Stadion is a football arena in Voronezh with open stands that hold about 32,000 spectators. The pitch is covered with grass and surrounded by simple, functional structures used for local and national matches.
The stadium opened in 1930 and has served as a center for football in Voronezh ever since. During World War II, the site was heavily damaged but was rebuilt and modernized over the following decades.
The stadium's name reflects the trade union movement that was important during the Soviet era. On match days, fans gather in club colors, and people connect through their shared passion for football and local teams.
The stadium is easily accessible by public transport, especially on match days when crowds gather. The venue provides basic facilities such as changing rooms, press areas, and small shops with souvenirs for visitors.
The ground hosted a friendly match between Russia and Belgium in 2010, where Romelu Lukaku scored both goals in one of his earliest appearances for the Belgian national team. This match remains a memorable moment in the stadium's history.
