RSK Olimpiyskyi is a multi-use stadium in Donetsk, Ukraine. The stadium's current maximum capacity is 25,831[1] and is currently used exclusively for football matches. After its reconstruction in 2003, the stadium was host to city-rivals FC Metalurh Donetsk, but Shakhtar has become the sole tenant of the stadium from 2004, where they will play until their new 5-star stadium is complete. FC Metalurh Donetsk has played at the old Shakhtar Stadium instead.
