Flooding damages World Cup stadium in Volgograd
Heavy rain has damaged parts of the interior and landscaping around the Volgograd Arena, a new stadium that hosted four matches during the World Cup, the company in charge of its construction said Tuesday.
The company Stroitransgaz said on its website that “work on clearing up the damage started immediately” at the stadium close to the Volga River.
The 45,000-seater stadium played host to England’s 2-1 win against Tunisia. Argentina beat Nigeria and Saudi Arabia downed Egypt by the same scoreline, while Poland edged Japan 1-0 in the venue’s closing game.
