History

The Olympic Stadium (also known as Olimpiyskiy National Sports Complex; Ukrainian: Національний спортивний комплекс "Олімпійський", romanized: Natsionalnyi sportyvnyi kompleks "Olimpiiskyi", IPA: [nɐts⁽ʲ⁾ioˈnɑlʲnɪj sporˈtɪu̯nɪj ˈkɔmpleks ol⁽ʲ⁾imˈpijsʲkɪj]) is a multi-use sports and recreation facility in Kyiv, Ukraine, located on the slopes of the city's central Cherepanova Hora (Cherepanov Hill), Pecherskyi District. The Olympic National Sports Complex Stadium is the premier sports venue in Ukraine and the sixteenth largest venue of this type in Europe. Although it is often used by FC Dynamo Kyiv for football matches, it is technically not the football club's home stadium. Since May 2020, the stadium has also been used for the home matches of Shakhtar Donetsk due to the war in Donbas.
