The stadium's LED facade is the largest one installed on a football stadium in the world.[4]

The stadium was constructed for the 2013 Summer Universiade. On May 5, 2010, president Putin held the groundbreaking ceremony.[5] The construction of the stadium was completed in 2013. The total cost was 15.5 billion rubles.[6] The stadium hosted the 2013 Summer Universiade opening and closing ceremonies,[7] and 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup.[8][9] On August 17, 2014, the first football match of the Russian Championship was hosted in the Ak Bars Arena.[10]

The 16th FINA World Championships were held in Kazan, with some events held at the Arena. It saw twelve swimming records.[11]

In the 2018 FIFA World Cup, the stadium hosted six matches, including the ones where three past champions (Germany, Argentina, and Brazil) were eliminated from the tournament.[12]

UEFA announced in March 2020 that the stadium would host the 2023 UEFA Super Cup;[13][14] however, due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the venue was later moved to the Karaiskakis Stadium in Piraeus, Greece.

Moreover, this was supposed to be the location for the 2025 World Aquatics Championships, but it was later moved to Singapore.[15][16]
