A new stadium was built in Saint Petersburg for the World Cup. Construction began in 2007 and was completed in 2016. Around 70,000 spectators can find a place in the "Zenit Arena." The stadium resembles a spaceship and is one of the most modern in the world. It features a sliding roof with a diameter of 286 meters on eight supports.

The sliding roof was securely fastened and the support grid reinforced using the fischer injection mortar FIS EM. The quantity used was 1,500 cartridges. Additionally, the assemblers used the fischer bolt anchor FBN II 2,900 times to fasten the support grid and several steel structures. To anchor railings and stairs, they installed over 100,000 fischer concrete screws FBS in various sizes. Moreover, more than 4,000 cartridges of the flame-retardant B1 pistol foam from fischer were used to install fire protection doors. "In the tests, our products proved their technical advantages," emphasizes Andrey Egorov, Managing Director of the Russian national subsidiary of the fischer group. "The high performance combined with cost-effectiveness convinced the client."
