Dinamo Stadium

No visit of a new country is complete for me without visiting at least one football stadium. Well worth seeing in Minsk is the Dinamo Stadium, which is the National Stadium of Belarus.

It is an all-seater multi purpose stadium with a capacity of about 41.000 people. Besides football matches of the national team it is sometimes also used for home matches of Dinamo Minsk. The club usually plays at the much smaller Dinamo-Yuni Stadium.

The Dinamo Stadium was built in 1934, but totally destroyed during WWII. So the current structure dates back to 1954. In 1980 it was even a venue of the football tournament of the Summer Olympics taking place in Moscow.

Around the stadium an almost daily flea market takes place. Here you find everything from sports equipment and clothes to groceries. I got myself a pin of Dynamo Minsk for 30.000 BYR here. The price was probably a rip-off for western tourists.

Directions:
Minsk's Dinamo Stadium is located just south of the Independence Avenue (Nezavisimosti prospekt),
right in the heart of the city centre.
