Paris NN General Manager David Melik-Guseynov He announced that the match against Lokomotiv Nizhny Novgorod in the third round of the Russian Premier League will be held at a reserve stadium outside Kazan.
The team will be forced to play several matches at the start of the new season that are not at home due to repairs. The primary option for the temporary move was the Mordovia Arena in Saransk, but ultimately, the club announced that the opening match against Krasnodar on July 20 will be held in Kazan.
The third round with Lokomotiv will not be held in Kazan, but at another reserve stadium. The decision does not depend on us, but on the Republic of Mordovia. We’ll have a meeting on Monday with a group of Russian Football Federation members on this score. There will be more information in the near future. We really want the team to return to the stadium in September. But it all depends on how the grass grows.
