Shakhtar Donetsk and Tavriya Simferopol will meet at the Yalta football stadium
In Yalta, at the opening of the Avanagrd stadium, dedicated to the celebration of City Day, two legendary football teams will play - Donetsk Shakhtar and Simferopol Tavriya.
This was announced by the head of the Yalta administration, Yanina Pavlenko, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We celebrate Yalta City Day on August 13,” she recalled. In a matter of days, the celebration program will be published, and it will begin in advance on August 12 with the long-awaited official opening of the Avangard stadium, in which two serious football teams plan to take part: Shakhtar Donetsk and Tavriya Simferopol. “This start of the festive events in the greater Yalta, I am sure, will gather football fans from all over Crimea and even beyond its borders.”
Avanagrd Stadium was closed for renovations in 2019. According to the project, it was necessary to build a new building with locker rooms, a rehabilitation center and gyms. The football field has a new turf and drainage system. The stadium's grandstand is designed for 4 thousand spectators. After reconstruction, Avangard should host national and international competitions, and the year-round athletics complex should become a training base.
The project estimate came out to 1 billion rubles. The completion date for repair and construction work was postponed several times. Avangard was preparing for the grand opening on May 1st.
Until 2014, the stadium was owned by the Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Ukraine. The football field fell into disrepair, the ground beneath it hardened, and the premises under the stadium stands were used for rent for shops.
