Avanhard Stadium, Multi-sport stadium in Uzhhorod, Ukraine

Avanhard Stadium is a multi-sport facility in Uzhhorod featuring a football pitch and athletics tracks for various competitions. The venue is designed to host football matches and track and field events throughout the year.

Construction began in the 1950s and the stadium was completed in 1952, designed by architects Yevhen Valts, Emil Egresi and Sandor Kavac. On 29 April 1992 it hosted the first official match of the Ukraine national team, a 1–3 friendly loss to Hungary. In 2012 it was leased to FC Hoverla Uzhhorod, and after renovations it has hosted FC Mynai from 2020.

The stadium's running tracks hosted the 1990 International Children's Olympic Games, and in 1962 high jumper Valeriy Brumel cleared 2.20 m here for a European record. Local football identity centres on the ground: Ukraine played its first official match here on 29 April 1992, losing 1:3 to Hungary, with Ivan Hetko scoring from a free kick in the 90th minute.

The stadium stands in Uzhhorod with a 104×68 m pitch and athletics tracks around it; the running core was rebuilt between 2018 and 2020. It is certified for Ukraine national team matches, so check which club or national fixture is scheduled before travelling. The grounds belong to the municipal government.

In 1962 high jumper Valeriy Brumel set a European record at this stadium, clearing 2.20 m. In 1990 the running tracks were rebuilt so Uzhhorod could host the International Children's Olympic Games.
