History
The stadium was built in 1951 as the Kliment Voroshilov Stadium. In 1957, the stadium's capacity was 7,447. It was not until 1961 when it was renamed into Avanhard (Avangard) Stadium. In 1967, the Avanhard Stadium could hold 40,000 spectators. In 1974, there were installed running tracks. In 1986, due to modernization, the stadium's capacity was reduced to 32,243. In 2002, the stadium ownership has changed when it was transferred from Luhanskteplovoz to the Luhansk Oblast Administration. In 2003, there were conducted major renovations to the stadium's facilities, because of that its capacity was reduced to 22,288. In 2011, there was replaced the turf, installed drainage and heat systems.
Late July 2014, the stadium was damaged by a mortar attack during the 2014 insurgency in Donbass.[2] It is currently under the control of the Luhansk Peoples Republic.
