Anzhi football club will get a new stadium, which will be renamed from Khazar to Anzhi-Arena in mid-2012, RIA Dagestan cites Idris Idrisov, head of a section of the Yugstroyservice, as saying.
Up to 300 people are involved in the reconstruction. It will have a field surrounded by a semi-circle of spectator seats. It will hold up to 31,000 spectators.
The stadium will meet UEFA Standards, allowing European championships to be held there. Even Barcelona FC and Manchester United FC would be satisfied with the stadium. The facility meets seismological standards and could resist a 9-point earthquake, he says.
The parking lot will have places for 2,500 vehicles.
