The stadium, which holds 81,000 spectators, has completed its upgrade ahead of next summer's tournament

The stunning Luzhniki Stadium has finished its renovation works ahead of the 2018 World Cup finals.

Russia's national stadium, which holds 81,000 spectators, is now read for the tournament, where it will host seven matches including the final.

The construction works have cost over £300million to get it set for FIFA in plenty of time ahead of next summer.

"It is the least expensive stadium of such a class in the world," Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin has previously said about the venue.

The Luzhniki is the most iconic stadium in Russia, having been initially opener in 1956 and was used during the 1980 Olympics.

Russia will take on Argentina in the stadium for its first trial game on November 10.
