Stadion Kirovets (Russian: Стадион "Кировец"[3]) or Kirovets Football Stadium (Russian: Футбольный Стадион "Кировец") is a football stadium located in Tikhvin, Russia. Since 2013 it is the home stadium of FC Tosno.

Construction

The construction started in 1941 as Russia entered the Second World War. Due to financial issues,[4] it finished 67 years later, on 24 September 2008.

The stadium has been on hold for more than 60 years, but has been continued due to the 'National Soccer Academy' fundings by Roman Abramovich and Rossport.

Facilities

2,500 seats in the Eastern Sector are domed by a metallic block, protecting the stadium from rain and other precipitates.
