The Rowing Centre is a unique facility comprising construction facilities and landscape architecture solutions. The venue is located on the shore of Lake Middle Kaban, a 20-minute drive from the airport and 15 minutes from the city centre.
The Kazan Rowing Centre is the only modern sports facility of its kind in Russia meeting the standards of the International Canoe Federation (ICF) and World Rowing. It hosted the FINA World Championships 2015, the 5th World University Canoe Sprint Championships along with the Rowing Championships, the Russian Rowing Championships for athletes with disabilities.
The venue infrastructure is composed of a sports complex, spectators stands, a referee tower, and a 2,000 m rowing course. The Regatta Hotel (with 205 beds) and the Centre for Restorative Medicine are also located on the site. In addition to the rowing distance and buildings, a significant part of the centre is occupied by an extensive open-air green area, accessible for organising team building events, children’s parties, and sports contests.
