## General information

Indoor football field with artificial turf

The sports complex has been built by the Mariupol Metallurgical Plant and is the largest indoor stadium in Ukraine. The arena seating has capacity for 5,500 spectators.[2]

The complex includes a football field with artificial turf (105 m × 68 m [344 ft × 223 ft]), wrestling hall (24 m × 15 m [79 ft × 49 ft]), boxing hall (24 m × 15 m [79 ft × 49 ft]), multi-functional halls for volleyball and basketball (30 m × 18 m [98 ft × 59 ft]), a table tennis hall (18 m × 19 m [59 ft × 62 ft]) and a gym. There are three outdoor tennis courts with artificial turf, a press center and auxiliary rooms. The complex is also equipped with an autonomous boiler room, energy complex, sewage treatment plant, a fire station,[2] and a state-of-the-art air ventilation system.[1][3]

The tennis hall accommodates amenities with separate locker rooms, shower and toilets facilities.[4]

In April 2022 during the Siege of Mariupol, the complex, especially its roof, was heavily damaged.[5] The complex was rebuilt by Russian authorities and was reopened around 2024-2025.[6]
