Izmaylovo Stadium, Sports stadium in Eastern District of Moscow, Russia
Izmaylovo Stadium is a sports venue in eastern Moscow featuring concrete stands with a capacity of around 13,000 spectators. An athletics track circles the central football pitch.
Construction started in 1934 as part of an ambitious project designed to hold 120,000 people. World War II changed those plans, resulting in a smaller facility.
The facility is home to Sportakademklub Moscow and displays artifacts from its military past throughout the grounds. Visitors walking around notice these objects scattered across the venue.
The venue is located at Sovetskaya Street 80 and is easily accessible by public transportation from eastern Moscow. Getting there by metro or bus from nearby stops is the most convenient option.
Underground bunkers and tunnels from the 1930s run beneath the stadium grounds and connected to a larger network. This hidden infrastructure reflects a more complex chapter in the site's past.
