Fisht Olympic Stadium stands in Sochi Olympic Park in Adler. Populous and BuroHappold Engineering designed it. The article lists the Government of Russia, through Olympstroy, as owner. It was built from 2011 to 2013 and opened in 2013, and it reopened in 2016 as an open-air football stadium. The article names no style.
It was first enclosed, under a roof with about 36,500 square meters of ETFE, which was later removed. The bowl opens north toward the Krasnaya Polyana mountains and its upper deck opens south toward the Black Sea. The pitch is 105 by 68 meters, and capacity is 45,994 for league play and 44,287 for the 2018 World Cup.
Construction cost US$779 million, and a later renovation cost 3 billion rubles. Buses and the Sochi–Adler–Olympic Park suburban train serve it.
