Roman Shukhevych Ternopil City Stadium (Ukrainian: Тернопільський міський стадіон імені Романа Шухевича) is a multi-use stadiuminTernopil, Ukraine. It is currently used mostly for football matches, and is the home of clubs FC Ternopil and FC Nyva Ternopil.
The stadium is mentioned as a sports field "Kolo parku" (Near the park) in 1909 when Tarnopol (today Ternopil) was part of Austria-Hungary. It was a home to local Polish club Kresy and Ukrainian team of Podillya Sports Society.
In Soviet times it was known as Avanhard Stadium and belonged to another football team FC Avanhard Ternopil. In 1983-84, the city adopted a new professional team from neighbouring city of Berezhany and almost completely rebuilt the stadium.
In 2021, the stadium is set to host its first Ukrainian Cup Final and first major competition final in the city overall.[2] The Ukrainian Cup Final at the stadium originally was planned to take place in 2019–20 season on 13 May 2020, but was moved to the next year due to COVID-19 pandemic.
On March 5, 2021, at the session of the Ternopil City Council is name after Roman Shukhevych.[3] On March 10 the Simon Wiesenthal Centre urged in a letter to Ternopil mayor Serhiy Nadal and the local city council to reconsider this "unfortunate and totally outrageous decision".[4] The Ukrainian Association of Football however has not adopted the new stadium's name and refers to it by its previous name.
