Source-derived summary

Kolos Stadium is a multifunctional facility, primarily used for football located in Boryspil, Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine. Beside the football field, the main arena has a running track and extra room to hold other Olympic sports events if necessary. The facility is owned by the local Kolos sports society. The football arena is often used by various Ukrainian national junior football teams. The Ukrainian Premier League football club Arsenal Kyiv played their home games at the stadium.

The stadium is also part of a sports complex, which includes a smaller field hockey arena, where the local hockey club Kolos plays.

History

Initially, the football field appeared in 1935, when the playground was encircled by a round mound. As a stadium, it was officially constructed after the Second World War and had a capacity of 7,500 spectators. In 1997, the facility was reconstructed and modernized with individual seating as well as changing rooms, a special medical room, massage facilities, and a new parking area.

The capacity was reduced to 5,654 with approximately 2,000 covered seats.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “stadium” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q967887. The first chronological checks are 1935 and 1997.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
