FC Minsk Stadium is a soccer-specific stadium in Minsk, Belarus. It is a home ground of FC Minsk. The stadium holds 3,000 people.

History

The stadium was built at the same location as former Kamvolschik Stadium, which was most recently used for lower leagues, youth and reserve teams matches and was largely abandoned by mid-2000s and was slowly decaying. In the past, the stadium was used for Belarusian SSR league games and as an occasional substitute pitch for Belarusian Premier League and Belarusian Cup games by various clubs.[1]

Modern use

In 2011 Kamvolschik Stadium was demolished. The new FC Minsk Stadium was built between 2012 and 2015[2] and opened in May 2015. Since then it was used primarily as a home venue by FC Minsk, as well as their women's team. Additionally, the stadium hosted FC Minsk women's team UEFA Women's Champions League home maches as well as UEFA Youth League matches by FC Minsk youth squad.
