Eduard Streltsov Stadium, also known as the Torpedo Stadium, is a multi-purpose stadium in Moscow, Russia. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home ground of Torpedo Moscow. First built in 1959, the stadium now holds 13,450 people.

Since 1996, the stadium is named after Eduard Streltsov, a former Torpedo Moscow player and one of the most iconic Soviet footballers. Despite not being directly owned by the club, the stadium is often referred to as the "Torpedo Stadium", and it was formally re-registered as such in 2018.[1]

The stadium was demolished in 2022 and will be rebuilt. At its expected completion in 2026, it will hold 15,076 people.[2] [3]

The new stadium is designed by the two architects Michel REMON and Alexis PEYER from the French office MR&A.<ref>Web site: Michel Rémon & Associés : Projet : Stade Torpedo Moscou .
