  • Host city of UEFA EURO 2012 final
  • Estimated to have population of around 3 million


Where it is
Kyiv is in the centre of Ukraine, located on the Dnieper river.



 NSK Olimpiyskyi stadium
• Built on the site of the 1913 All-Russian Exhibition in order to host the Second All-Ukrainian Spartakiad (or Games), the ground was opened as the Trotsky Red Stadium on 12 August 1923. Trotsky's name was removed the next year, and the arena became home to Zheldor – now Lokomotiv – Kyiv.
• After Kyiv's restoration as the Ukrainian capital in 1934, a decision was made to construct an adjacent Republican Stadium; however, the opening ceremony of 22 June 1941 had to be delayed due to the German invasion and was not held until 1944 (though the German occupiers did open it in 1942).
• Renamed the Central Stadium, the new facility was enlarged to a 100,000+ capacity in the 1960s and incorporated into a larger sports complex. A crowd of 102,000 watched Dynamo Kyiv clinch the 1975 UEFA Super Cup by beating Bayern 2-0 with two Oleh Blokhin goals.
• Another rebuild followed before the 1980 Olympics, where the rebranded Republican Stadium staged seven matches including a quarter-final.
• Given its current title in 1996 after Ukrainian independence, it has been the national stadium and has been used by the Ukraine team as well as for big games involving local clubs and the Ukrainian Cup final.
• The present stadium was constructed in time for UEFA EURO 2012, where it hosted five fixtures including the final.
