Nara Stadium
Naro-Fominsk, Central Federal District, Russia
Nara Stadium, Naro-Fominsk, Russia — opened unknown, 7 rugby league games hosted, home of Russia national rugby league team.
Sourcing caveat: The first recorded match, Russia 0-48 Lebanon, is independently confirmed via direct WebFetch of Rugby League Project's own results page as 27 October 2006 (2006/07 World Cup Qualifiers), not 2007 — data/venues.py's first-recorded-year field of '2007' most likely reflects the 2006/07 competition season label rather than a factual discrepancy, but is disclosed here rather than silently reconciled.
