The '''Dnipro Arena''' ({{langx|uk|Дніпро-Арена}}) is a football [[stadium]] in [[Dnipro]], [[Ukraine]]. It is used mostly for [[football (soccer)|football]] matches. The stadium has a capacity of 31,003 people. It replaced Dnipro's old Soviet Metalurh Stadium which existed since 1940.

==History==
{{stack|[[File:Dnipro Arena-View from Kucherevsky boulevard (North Enter).jpg|thumb|North entrance of the stadium]]}}
The Dnipro-Arena staged the [[2010 FIFA World Cup qualification - UEFA Group 6|2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying]] match between [[Ukraine national football team|Ukraine]] and [[England national football team|England]] as the [[Olimpiyskiy National Sports Complex|Olimpiysky National Sports Complex]] in [[Kyiv]] was being rebuilt ready for [[UEFA Euro 2012]].

The Dnipro-Arena was chosen as a possible venue for [[UEFA Euro 2012]] but was dropped from the list in May 2009. The capacity fell short of the minimum 33,000 seats required by [[UEFA]].<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/football/feedarticle/8499613 Kiev and Donetsk likely for Euro 2012, others uncertain]</ref><ref>[https://www.google.com/hostednews/canadianpress/article/ALeqM5it8f_MOzCKu2hxVHUUXwOvzetMIw UEFA names four Polish Euro 2012 host cities, one in Ukraine]{{dead link|date=June 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref>

Dnipro-Arena hosted the 2009 [[Ukrainian Cup]] final, in which [[FC Vorskla Poltava|Vorskla Poltava]] beat [[FC Shakhtar Donetsk|Shakhtar Donetsk]] 1–0.

Since the beginning of the [[War in Donbas]], Dnipro have played their European matches at the Olympiskiy NSC Stadium in Kyiv at the behest of [[UEFA]], although there has been comparatively less conflict in Dnipro than in other areas.
