TheStadion Dynamo imeniValeria Lobanovskoho is a multi-functionalstadium inKyiv,Ukraine that is modified for football use only.
It is the home stadium ofDynamo Kyiv yet not the main stadium, for which Dynamo uses the biggerNSC Olympiyskiy. The Dynamo Stadium is also a major alternative stadium for theUkraine national football team that often plays itsexhibition games. The stadium holds 16,873 people, and was built in 1934 asVsevolod Balitsky Dynamo Stadium by the project of Vasyl Osmak as the central stadium of the Ukrainian SSRDynamo sports society associated withOGPU/NKVD. It was built in the park area next to the NKVD building which is today known as theGovernment building.
The Dynamo Stadium was built in 1934 during transferring of the Soviet capital fromKharkiv toKyiv. It was built near the newly erected building that was initially intended as a republican NKVD headquarters inKyiv (today building of theGovernment of Ukraine).
The stadium current name was given in honour of the former Dynamo Kyiv andUSSR national football team coachValeriy Lobanovskyi in 2002, who died on 13 May that year, at age 63.[1]
In January 2014, the square adjoining the stadium's main gate fromHrushevskoho Street became scene of the month-long street battle between attacking activists of theEuromaidan revolution and police. At several moments, the clashes took place immediately on top of the stadium gate, with at least one rioter filmed being thrown down at the pavement by police officers. The square, the entrance colonnade & stadium fence were completely smoked over by prolonged artificialtyres-fed fire, as well as surrounding street buildings. By 2015, the entrance square was completely restored. The only reminder of the revolution events is an amateur monument erected in the middle of the Hrushevskoho Street driveway opposite the stadium gate. In 2017, new seats were installed[2] as the ground was chosen to hostthe final of the2017–18 UEFA Women's Champions League.
In 1971, near the stadium was installed a monument of theDynamo players involved in the game known in the Soviethistoriography as theDeath Match and the players who perished in theWorld War II. The sculpture is composed of steel, in which figures of four players are carved usinghigh relief. Thearchitects responsible for the sculpture,V. Bogdanovska andI. Maslenkov, are well known for designing stations of theKyiv Metro. Thesculptor wasI. Gorovyi. The monument is located by the service entrance to the stadium, so many fans are unable to see it.
On 11 May 2003, before the first anniversary of the death ofValeriy Lobanovskyi, a monument was opened. The famouscoach is sitting on the trainer's bench and is watching a match. Thepedestal is a largeball. The total weight is about fivetonnes. The monument was created by a group of nine people led by the architect Vasil Klimenko and thesculptor Vladimir Filatov.[3] The sculpture is located between the stadium and the main entrance to the stadiums.
