The one time I went to Moscow (1989!) we saw a stadium which I remember looking just like that. But My guess is that there are stadia which look rather like that in every major city in the former Soviet Union? But it's rare enough for me to see anywhere on this thread which I even think I recognise.
― Tim, Friday, 9 December 2016 11:49 (nine years ago)
Most of the big Moscow grounds have been upgraded in the last ten years or so. This city has kept the League Two vibe alive though!
― Bubba H.O.T.A.P.E (ShariVari), Friday, 9 December 2016 11:53 (nine years ago)
A couple of additional clues:
Despite the flags looking slightly like a shahada in the pic above, they are green irl. The team they are associated with is not particularly good but arguably punches above its weight.
The time zone is closer to Tokyo than to Moscow.
It's currently minus 16 and minus 27 with windchill.

Harbin? Or did we do that one recently?
― walk back to the halftime long, billy lynn, billy lynn (Doctor Casino), Saturday, 10 December 2016 12:42 (nine years ago)
It's not Harbin.
Tim was on the right track with the former Soviet Union.
