Sonyachny Training Center

The Sonyachny Training Center is a football stadium in Cherkaska Lozova with seating for around 4,900 spectators and a playing field measuring 105 by 68 meters (344 by 223 feet). The facility was operated by Ukrainian Railways and provided professional-grade training spaces for regional teams.

The stadium opened in September 2011 and was built as part of Ukraine's preparation to host the Euro 2012 football tournament. It represented the country's effort to upgrade its sports infrastructure during that period.

The facility served as a training ground for regional football teams who used it to develop their skills and compete during multiple seasons. It held significance for local sports life in the area.

The site is located in Cherkaska Lozova and was designed as a training ground with professional-grade facilities for visitors to observe. The location was accessible via public transport through the railway network.

A section of the damaged seating was transported to Munich and now stands as a physical record of how conflict has affected Ukrainian sports facilities. This fragment tells the story of the site in an unexpected way.
