Kuban Stadium (Russian: «Кубань») is a multi-purpose stadium in Krasnodar, Russia. It is used mostly for football matches and is the home stadium of PFC Kuban Krasnodar, as well as the now-amateur FC Kuban Krasnodar. The stadium holds 35,200 people.^[2]

First opened on 30 October 1960, it initially had a capacity of approximately 20,000 people.^{[citation needed]} The first match was played on 14 May 1961, when FC Kuban Krasnodar (then called Spartak Krasnodar) played PFC Dynamo Stavropol (then called Spartak Stavropol).^{[citation needed]}

The capacity was later doubled with the building of a second floor, which is when floodlights were also installed.
