Dynamo Stadium, Football stadium in Ufa, Russia.
Dynamo Stadium is a multi-purpose sports ground on Seminarskaya Hill in western Ufa, opposite the Ufa Theological Seminary. Its football pitch measures 100 by 69 metres and has artificial turf without under-soil heating. The complex also holds 400-metre athletics tracks, tennis courts, a swimming pool, shooting ranges, a 32-room hotel and a sports hall with 1,000 seats.
The stadium opened on 6 May 1934 on the site of a sports ground in Ushakovsky Park, next to the demolished Resurrection Cathedral. In Soviet times its name changed repeatedly, with abbreviations such as BOSFK, BSPS and GSFK. On 31 August 1941 the personnel of the Ufa Infantry School took the military oath here. It was reconstructed in 2007 by Stroitelny Trest No. 3 and served as FC Ufa's home ground from 2009 to 2015.
The stadium stands on the site of a sports ground in Ushakovsky Park, next to where the demolished Resurrection Cathedral once stood, in the western part of Cathedral Square on Seminar Hill in New Ufa. Its Soviet-era names were hard-to-pronounce abbreviations such as BOSFK, BSPS and GSFK. Since 2019 it has been the home arena of the Kirovets bandy club.
