After the
2001-02 season, the Central Stadium Metalurh was completely demolished and on its place started to be built a new stadium. On 29 July 2006, the new Slavutych Arena was officially opened. After finishing of the new stadium, Metalurh played its games at new home stadium since July 2006. The stadium is located on the left-bank of
Dnieper near the well known
Dnieper Hydro-Electric Station and the Metallurgists Park. Located in a central part of the city, Slavutych Arena is away from main train station, airport and major automobile highways. The Slavutych Arena hosted the
2010 Ukrainian Super Cup final between
Shakhtar Donetsk and
Tavriya Simferopol. Shakhtar, the reigning league champions, won 7–1 in front of a crowd of 10,500. Since July 2014, due to the war in eastern Ukraine, Slavutych Arena has been the home of Zorya football club (Luhansk). It also hosted the
2019 Ukrainian Cup Final between Shakhtar Donetsk and
Inhulets Petrove, a 4-0 Shakhtar victory. Due to
ongoing conflict in Luhansk,
FC Zorya Luhansk also plays home games at the stadium. ==Gallery==
