History

In 2012, the club's management made the first attempts to find land for the construction of the stadium.Yuri Sinitsa, founder of the Kollar company, which produces goods for pets, undertook to build a football field at ZAZ. The project investor is one of the company's divisions, the Kit and Pes enterprise. After the established of the football club FC Chernihiv, the owner of the team, Yury Yuryevich noticed that the existing stadium do not match the standards like Lokomotiv stadium (located not far from the Chernihiv Ovruch railway) and the Olympic sports training center is the Desna Chernihiv football field, its rent was quite high, and it was not always possible to play there and at this point he start developing his idea that a team needs its own infrastructure. [7]

At the end of 2014, local authorities gave permission to develop a project for the area.[8]

In the summer of 2016, the first construction work started and after 11 months, in May 2017, the football field, the building with changing rooms and showers, all communications, roads, parking lots were ready to receive visitors.[9][10]

In 2017, Chernihiv city Mayor Vladyslav Atroshenko, addressing the investor of this project, Yuri Sinitsa (PE "Cat and Dog"), noted that the idea of building this facility at his own expense is worthy of admiration and imitation.[11]

As the company's founder Yuri Sinitsa said at a meeting with Japanese partners on July 24, in 2017 a children's football school with modern teaching methods and coaches trained abroad will start working here.Over the next 4-5 years, the Chernigiv Arena will have covered grandstands for 5,000 visitors, a swimming pool and tennis courts.Investors hope that the modern sports complex will revive the ZAZ neighborhood and create favorable conditions for the development of sports in the city as a whole.[12]

In the summer of 2020, "Chernigiv Arena" received accreditation from the UAF to host Ukrainian Second League matches.[13]In the same year the main club of the city, Desna Chernihiv rent "Chernigiv-Arena" for their own teams U-21 and U-19.

In November 2020, the main the main football field was replaced with professional ones made of special material. A cafe appeared; ticket office; club paraphernalia shop; toilets, including for the disabled. The main tribune has been expanded with the addition of a separate area for members of the press. On the second tier of the podium there is a box for VIP guests. The coaching benches are removed at the required distance for the proper organization of the technical zone. There is a guest tribune for fans of visiting teams. Flagpoles have been installed for the flags of the competition organizers. The fence of the stadium has been increased, an area for comfortable entrance of fans has been formed, additional passages have been organized.[14][15]Also in January 2021 Desna Chernihiv, the main team of the city trained in the field for the preparation of the league.
