Description
Available in:
Donbas Arena (Ukrainian: Донбас Арена ; Russian: Донбасс Арена, romanized: Donbass Arena) was the largest stadium in Eastern Europe, with a natural grass pitch in Donetsk, eastern Ukraine, that opened on 29 August 2009. The facility is located in the center of the city, in the Lenin Comsomol park. With a capacity of 55,187 spectators, the stadium used to host Shakhtar Donetsk matches and also hosted some matches of UEFA Euro 2012. The final cost of construction for Donbas Arena was $400M. The stadium has been unused and closed to the public since May 2014, due to the war in Donbas. The last game of Shakhtar was played there on 2 May 2014 against Illichivets Mariupol.
The name of the stadium represents the simplified and shortened name of the Donets Basin—huge industrial region of Donbas, hence—Donbas (Ukrainian: Донецький басейн or Донбас).
