Kazakhstan v England 2010 World Cup Qualifier, Venue Almaty or Astana

With more speedy progress of the new 30,000 seater stadium in the Kazak capital Astana, since the World Cup draw, it is now unclear whether England's qualifier will be played in Almaty or at the new stadium. In an attempt to give you more information than the one photo and paragraph on the official englandfans site!, we bunged a local a few dollars to go along to hitch a ride to get some new pics of the stadium so we can all see how it is progressing.

All we ask is that you please do not copy and paste this article onto the englandfans forum.  You are welcome to copy and paste a hyperlink to this page but this site is free of charge relying on visitors like you to fund its cost, that way it stays free, thanks.

On completion the finished stadium  pictured left complete with sliding roof will have its own on-site 100 bedroom hotel. The stadium will be used as a multifunctionalInside the stadium entertainment complex for different sports and gathering purposes, so may well be laid with an artificial pitch, but it is mainly programmed for football to a standard fitting FIFA and UEFA criteria. A two-tiered ground with exclusive areas, the lower tier will have a 16,000 seating capacity situated at all four sides and the upper tier, a 14,000 seating capacity on the east and west sides only. There will be 24 entrances and exits for spectators. When the roof is closed the arena will be heated or air-conditioned, useful for those hot summers and bitter winters.
