Key facts<\/h3>\n

Club: FC Kuban Krasnodar | Capacity: 45,000 seats | Status:\u00a0cancelled<\/p>\n

Description<\/h3>\n

FC Kuban Stadium was a\u00a0proposed new stadium of Kuban Krasnodar. It was initially intended to be built for the 2018 World Cup, but Krasnodar did not get selected as a host city.<\/p>\n

The stadium was to\u00a0get designed by AFL Architects<\/a>, whose design got chosen in June 2013. The shape of the stadium was based on that of a sunflower, a traditional flower of the Krasnodar region. The exterior intended to use a blind system that could\u00a0ventilate the stadium in summer and isolate the spectators from cold winds in winter.<\/p>\n

FC Kuban Stadium was to\u00a0become the new home of Kuban Krasnodar, replacing Stadion Kuban<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The stadium was planned to\u00a0get built on the northern edge of the city of Krasnodar, at about 9 kilometres from Krasnodar\u2019s city centre.<\/p>\n

Construction of the stadium was expected to start around the end of 2013 and take 2 to 3 years, however the project did not get off the ground and finally got cancelled in 2015. Kuban instead opted to refurbish their current home Stadion Kuban.<\/p>\n
