I appreciate your support of my site. The Football World Cup officially began in Moscow a few days ago on Thursday, June 14th, 2018. Football fans are pouring in by the thousands and these fans from around the world are adding some much needed diversity to the otherwise very Russian capital. Last weekend when visiting the Red Square area the fever and excitement was felt in the air as I walked past people speaking a wide range of languages and showing off their own national pride. Spartak Stadium Tour Backtrack to a few weeks ago, I was able to visit Spartak Stadium on a field trip with my school. It is home to the professional Russian football team, Spartak. Along with holding Spartak’s home games since 2014 when it was built, it is also the host of five world cup matches this year. In the guided tour we started with a behind the scenes look at the jacuzzi and massage room, the warm-up field and the locker room. I’m surprised they let our little three year olds climb directly up onto the players personal chairs. Then out onto the pitch for a unique view of an empty stadium. We were also treated to a peek inside a VIP suite. Those must cost a fortune for the World Cup games. Football Museum Our last stop was the football museum within the stadium. Of course it was another Russian museum all in Russian. I don’t have any plans to attend a World Cup match, but I am enjoying the anticipation and excitement that this major world event is bringing to the city. Working at a British International School means there is A LOT of talk and hype about the matches. Even though the tour guide at the stadium couldn’t convey a lot of information in his limited English, I have learned quite a bit about the sport from my colleagues. If I dare say so myself I am almost becoming interested in the matches as well! Read about the rest of my World Cup experiences. Visiting Information Where Volokolamskoye sh., 69, Moskva, Russia, 125424 How to Get There Take the purple 7 metro line to the Spartak stop. For more information about the Moscow Metro and how to use it read this post. Tickets Currently the website says online tickets are not available. They list the times of the tour and an email if you need to book a group. Toilets There are toilets you can use before and after the tour. On our group tour we were not allowed to enter the stadium beforehand to use the toilets even though we already had tickets. FYI As I mentioned above our guide didn’t speak English very well. Another group from my school said their guide’s English was pretty good. Be prepared for the possibility of having a difficult time understanding your tour guide and the museum. Regardless of language issues, it is still a fun experience to see the stadium from a behind the scene’s perspective. Where to Stay in Moscow Find a great place to stay in Moscow here. Pin It!!
