Central Stadium, Sports stadium in Chelyabinsk, Russia.

Central Stadium is a football ground in Chelyabinsk, home to FC Chelyabinsk and the amateur Academy of Football. Its field, surrounded by running tracks, was rebuilt in the 2000s on a design modelled after the Saturn Stadium in Ramenskoye, without running tracks. The west stand was closed in 2005 after a crack caused by a design error, and the north stand reopened on 10 September 2011.

Built in 1935 as Trud Stadium, a multi-sport complex for boxing, wrestling and athletics, it was converted to football in 1953, when UralMash (Sverdlovsk) played Lokomotiv (Chelyabinsk) in the first match. A 1990 reconstruction stopped after three years; the city took ownership in 1998. In 2005 the west stand was closed after a crack caused by a design error, and a new pitch opened on 11 May 2010.

The stadium serves as a gathering place for local sports fans who follow regional football and athletics events throughout the year. It functions as a center where the community comes together to watch and celebrate their athletic teams.

The stadium is located on Kommuny Street in the center and is easily accessible by public transportation. Visitors should check ahead to confirm what events or activities are scheduled for their intended visit day.

In January 2014 the football field was temporarily transformed into an ice rink to host the Russian Classic hockey event. This unusual occasion showed how the venue can adapt for special large-scale competitions beyond its regular use.
