Central Stadium (Belarusian: Цэнтральны стадыён; Russian: Центральный стадион) is a football-specific stadium in Gomel, Belarus. It is currently used as a home ground of Gomel. The stadium is all-seater and has a capacity of 14,307 people.[1] The stadium was opened in 2004.
The modern stadium was built at the site of an old multi-purpose stadium of the same name, which was built in the 1930s and used by Gomel until 1999.[citation needed] The stadium was then demolished and completely rebuilt during 1999–2004.
The stadium has been used by Gomel in international (mainly UEFA Europa League) matches. It was also used as a home ground for Belarus national football team on one occasion, which was a UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying match against Luxembourg in October 2007 that ended with 0–1 loss for the home team.
