History and description<\/h3>\n
The Arena Khimki was built to provide FC Khimki with a new home in place of their old stadium that had stood at the same site.<\/p>\n
Construction works started in 2005, and plans got more ambitious while the works developed. The Arena Khimki officially opened on 20 September 2008 with a match between FC Khimki and FC Saturn.<\/p>\n
Soon after, Dynamo Moscow started renting the arena as it offered better facilities than their dilapidated home ground.<\/p>\n
In 2010, CSKA Moscow also decided to play most of their home matches at the Arena Khimki while their Arena CSKA<\/a>\u00a0was under construction.<\/p>\n FC Khimki\u2019s fortunes however in the meantime dwindled, and they played many of their home games at a smaller local ground.<\/p>\n In 2009, the Arena Khimki hosted the Russia Cup final: CSKA Moscow beat Rubin Kazan 1-0.<\/p>\n In 2016, CSKA moved back out again when the Arena CSKA was completed. A few years later, Dynamo also moved back to their original home when the newly built VTB Arena<\/a> opened. These days FC Khimki occasionally uses the arena for higher profile matches.<\/p>\n The Arena Khimki is located in the city of Khimki, which is located on the north-western edge of Moscow on the MKAD Ring Road at just under 20 kilometres from central Moscow.<\/p>\n The stadium can be reached by taking metro<\/a>\u00a0line 2 to station Rechnoy Vokzal (\u0420\u0435\u0447\u043d\u043e\u0439 \u0432\u043e\u043a\u0437\u0430\u043b), which is the last on the line.
