Lokomotyv Stadium, association football venue in Kyiv, Ukraine
Lokomotyv Stadium is a multipurpose sports venue in Kyiv's Solomianka district used for football, rugby, and American football. It features a playing field with stands for about 1000 spectators, an adjacent sports complex with various training courts, outdoor exercise equipment, and full accessibility for people with disabilities.
The stadium was built in 1963 and served as a venue for various sports over the decades. After years of neglect, it underwent major renovation with support from the Howard Buffett Foundation to restore its modern facilities.
The stadium's name connects to its origins as a gathering place for railway workers decades ago. Today, it serves as a community hub where locals gather to support their teams and celebrate shared sporting traditions together.
The stadium is centrally located and easily accessible by public transport including buses, trams, and bike paths. It is best to allow extra time for travel on game days when the area becomes busy with spectators.
The stadium hosts a large football academy with over 1500 children and supports more than 350 displaced persons by providing training opportunities and development across eight sports disciplines. It functions as more than just a competition venue, serving the community as an important training and development hub.
