For years, this was the home of Torpedo Moscow, a team with a rich history and passion for the beautiful game. Today, we stand amidst the newly constructed Eduard Streltsov Stadium. It’s here on this land, at the end of the Vostochnaya Ulitsa, that the spirit of one of Russia’s celebrated and most beloved footballers still lives. In 2026, Eduard Streltsov Stadium will be home to nearly 15,000 fans. Torpedo Moscow is ready to return to this field, soaring high above the city as the nation’s footballing soul. It was first built in 1959, initially serving as a training ground. Eduard Streltsov himself graced this field, winning a place in the hearts of millions. The stadium remained unnamed until 1996, when it was officially dedicated to this legendary forward. An unassuming monument of a man who has truly changed the game of soccer in Russia as we know it, now stands before us. It is a powerful reminder that a legacy endures even after a player has retired, leaving behind a passionate fan base and a legend that will continue to inspire.
