Dynamo Stadium Walery Łobanowskiego (Ukrainian: Стадіон «Динамо» ім. Валерія Лобановського) - a football stadium located in the Ukrainian city of Kyiv. Dynamo Kyiv team plays their home games at the stadium. The original capacity of the stadium was 30,000, however, after modernization, the capacity of the stadium is 16,873. Due to the stadium's low capacity, Dynamo Kyiv plays its cup matches at the much larger Olympic Stadium.
At the beginning of the 20th century, on the territory of today's stadium there were greenhouses, which supplied vegetables and fruit to the tsarist residence - the Marysinka Palace. There was also a very popular among the inhabitants - "Szato de Fler".
In 20-30 years, in their place, the Kiev provincial council of the society "Dynamo" built several fields: basketball, volleyball and handball, as well as a football field with a wooden changing room and a gymnasium.
The stadium today was built in 1932-1934.
During World War II, the stadium was heavily demolished, and missiles and mines were found on its territory for many years. The "Dynamo" team played matches in 1956 at the rebuilt stadium.
