It was issued by the RFS Commission on stadium licensing
FC Krasnodar has received the official letter signed by the Head of the Russian Football Union (RFS) licensing department Е.А. Legin stating that during the meeting of the RFS Commission on stadium licensing, which took place on September 29th, it was ruled out to issue the Krasnodar Stadium with “the certificate of conformity of the HIGHEST category” for the period from 29 September 2016 till 29 September 2019.
The date of 29 September 2016 therefore can be deemed the official birthday of our Club’s new stadium.
