The Slavutych Arena in the southern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhia was built in 1937 and 1938. On May 2, 1938, the stadium was opened, which at that time was still called the Zaporizhia Central Stadium . It has only had its current name, Slavutytsch Arena , since a renovation in 2006. The Metalurh Zaporizhia club has played its home games here since the stadium was built. Metalurh currently plays in the second highest Ukrainian league, the Perscha Liha , after being relegated from the Premjer-Liha in the past season ( 2010/11 ) .
