Stadion SKA SKVO (Russian: Стадион СКА-СКВО) is a multi-purpose stadium in Rostov-na-Donu, Russia. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home ground for FC SKA Rostov-on-Don. The stadium is refurbished and holds 2,200 people.
The construction of the sports complex was started in the mid-sixties on the initiative of the Commander of the Troops of the North Caucasus Military District, Colonel-General Altunin.[citation needed]
On January 28, 2016, the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA) approved a list of 36 training grounds for the 2018 FIFA World Cup , including the "SKA" stadium in this application. In this regard, it is necessary to reconstruct the stadium to bring it in line with the requirements.[1] In 2020, as part of the project to revive the SKA Rostov football club, new owner Basta, with the assistance of the Rostec State Corporation, planned to modernize the stadium.[citation needed]
