Arena Yerofey, Indoor sports arena in Khabarovsk, Russia
Arena Yerofey is a 46,000 m² indoor bandy arena on the bank of the Amur Channel at 83 Pavla Morozova Street in Khabarovsk. Opened in 2013, it seats 10,400 spectators and is the home ice of SKA-Neftyanik. Its ice can be covered with artificial turf for football, and up to 250 people can train at once.
Arena Yerofey opened in 2013, named after the explorer Yerofey Khabarov following a citywide vote in February 2013. It was the fourth indoor stadium in Russia built for bandy and the second constructed specifically for the sport. It hosted the 2015 Bandy World Championship and the Division A tournament of the 2018 championship.
The name was chosen in a February 2013 city poll, in which most residents voted for Yerofey Khabarov, the explorer the city itself is named after. The arena also stages concerts: Limp Bizkit played here on 25 October 2015 and the band Kino on 20 April 2023. Open ice-skating sessions are held, and there is a climbing wall and table tennis equipment.
The arena stands at ulitsa Pavla Leontyevicha Morozova 83 in the Industrialny district, on the bank of the Amur channel. Its car park doubles as a drift-racing venue, so spaces can be taken on competition days. Up to 250 people can train inside at once, and open ice-skating sessions are held alongside matches.
The venue hosted the 2015 Bandy World Championship and later served as a site for the 2018 Bandy World Championship matches. These international events positioned Khabarovsk as a recognized center for winter sports hosting.
