The head of the department of physical culture and sports of the Voronezh region, Dmitry Sobolev, told that the reconstruction of the stadium “Torch “, where the club of the same name was going to perform, is temporarily suspended.
According to the property passport, the renovation work was to be completed by December 2022. The reconstruction began in November 2021, when the Voronezh team plays at the Central Trade Union Stadium. The club indicated that the Fakel Arena could receive the first category of the Russian Football Union.
– How is the reconstruction of the Fakel stadium in the Soviet quarter going? It should be ready by the end of 2022, right?
— Reconstruction of the stadium is temporarily suspended due to changing needs. At the moment, adjustments are being made to the terms of reference, after the approval of which the reconstruction of the facility will be resumed. It is impossible to speed up the reconstruction process, due to the previously established tight deadlines and a number of works that require resources to be completed,” Sobolev said.
– If the facility is commissioned, will the stadium be ready to be licensed by the RPL?
– The decision to issue an authorization falls within the competence of the RFU commission. The Department of Physical Culture and Sports of the Voronezh region is doing everything to make the decision positive.
– In theory, the club will play home games there?
– The program for organizing matches has not been drawn up due to the reconstruction of the facility. But the department is not ruling out the possibility of hosting home games at the venue once the reconstruction is complete.
Previously, the Voronezh club, which became the second in the FNL, received a temporary license from the RFU to participate in the RPL due to the incompatibility of the Central Union Stadium with the regulations. On June 8, the RPL commission visited the stadium, the governor of the Voronezh region, Alexander Gusev, assured that all work on the arena would be completed on time.
