Dnipro Stadium is a football stadium in Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine. It is mostly for football matches and hosts the homes matches of FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk. The stadium has a capacity of 31,003 people. It replaced Dnipro's old stadium Stadium Meteor.
It staged the World Cup qualifying match between Ukraine and England as the Olimpiysky National Sports Complex in Kiev was being rebuilt ready for Euro 2012.
The Dnipro Arena was chosen as a possible venue for Euro 2012, but was dropped from the list in May 2009. The capacity fell short of the minimum 33,000 seats required by UEFA.[1][2]
Dnipro Arena hosted the final match of the Ukrainian Cup 2009, where Vorskla Poltava beat FC Shakhtar Donetsk with a final score 1:0.
