Trud Stadium

Trud Stadium is a sports facility in Arkhangelsk designed to hold around 10,000 spectators for various competitions and events. It maintains functional facilities for athletes and visitors and operates throughout the year.

The stadium was built in 1973 as part of the Soviet Union's effort to develop sports facilities across Russian regions. It represented the government's investment in sports infrastructure beyond major urban centers.

The name refers to 'Labor' and comes from the Soviet era, when sports were closely linked to working class values. This naming choice shows how sports were once seen as a reflection of social ideals.

The stadium serves as the home venue for the bandy club Vodnik and hosts competitions and training throughout the year. Weather conditions in Arkhangelsk can be harsh, especially in winter, so appropriate clothing is important for visits.

In 1999 and 2003, the stadium hosted the international Bandy World Championships, drawing athletes and fans from across the globe. This international recognition placed it on the map for the global bandy community.
