Construction site of Central Stadium in Yekaterinburg. It opened in 1957 and was completely renovated to 28,000 capacity in 2011. It didn't match FIFA World Cup standards and was destroyed and built again. WITH SOVIET precision images show just how the two mighty stadiums for the 2018 Russian World Cup are polished to perfection with the rest well under the way. Unlike previous farcical infrastructure works for the Brazilian and South African World Cups, pictures show that in Russia the 45,000 seater Kazan Arena, home to Rubin Kazan, and the Otkrytiye Arena, home to Spartak Moscow, have already been completed. Other images show the Luzhniki Olympic Stadium in Moscow, which is undergoing a complete renovation and has 3,000 workers on site 24/7 to speed up the construction process. Belgian photographer Brecht De Vleeschauwer (28) from Gent, gained exclusive access after he travelled to Russia with permission from FIFA to photograph the construction.
