The VTB Arena – Dynamo Central Stadium is a multi-purpose sports complex in Moscow, Russia. It consists of an ice hockey and an association football venue. The football stadium is officially named Dynamo Central Stadium "Lev Yashin". The ice hockey venue is known as the Universal VTB Arena.
On 27 November 2018, the arena confirmed that the first football game after reopening was to be played between Dynamo Moscow and Spartak Moscow (see Oldest Russian derby), initially scheduled for 10 March 2019. However, on 28 February 2019, the Russian Premier League announced that its inspectors did not find the pitch acceptable for play, and the derby was moved to a backup stadium. As a result, the pitch was reinstalled from scratch. On 16 May 2019, the league approved the new pitch for use and announced that the first game at the stadium played by Dynamo would be the closing game of the 2018–19 Russian Premier League season against Arsenal Tula on 26 May, which ended a 3–3 draw, in front of 23,340.
