The central stadium of the trade unions (Voronezh) of Proshany was named after the Hero of the Soviet Union. Ivan Evgenievich was the first chairman of the sports club "Harvest". Since then the stadium has become the main sports ground of the city. The building is located next to a historically established place. It was from there that football began to develop in Voronezh. On the main sports ground were shooting movies "Men's Women's Game." The stadium is in Russia in second place in capacity.

History of the stadium

The central stadium of the trade unions (Voronezh) is located next to the place of the former cadet corps. In it, during physical education classes, pupils often played football, practicing the skills of the game. In 1917, the Executive Committee of Workers' and Deputies issued a decree granting a site for the Cadet Corps to host youth sports games.

Then the first football field appeared. It was drawn by a line in the middle, had penalty areas and a real gate, but without grids. The first football field became a serious impetus to the development of this sport in Voronezh. First, money for viewing amateur matches in a self-made stadium was not taken. The first tickets appeared a little later (in 1924) and cost only 10 kopecks.

By this time the stadium of the trade unions (Voronezh) had already three football fields that framed the benches in two rows. In 1927, the construction of a new sports complex was started on Haymarket Square. But the erection of the arena was somewhat delayed. The first mention of the stadium dates back to the late 1920s. At that time the new sports ground was called "ISPS", on behalf of the owner - the Regional Council of Trade Unions.

By 1930, only one football field was created at the stadium. In 1934, the rest of the infrastructure and tribunes entered service. By the end of the year, an international match was held at the new stadium for the first time. Participants were the national team of the Central Black Earth region and football players of Germany. The game ended in a draw.

In 1935 the trade union stadium (Voronezh) hosted the first football championship in the region. In 1936, the sports ground was renamed "Pishchevik", and in 1953 - "Znamya." In the winter of 1958, it became known as Trud. And only in 1973 the sports complex was called the Central Stadium of Trade Unions. Since then, this name has not changed.

During the Great Patriotic War, the stadium of the trade unions (Voronezh) was completely destroyed. And after the war it had to be restored for a long time. The first overhaul was completed before the matches of the 1954 season. Then the local football team "Wings of the Soviets" received a new arena. The stands were designed for 10 thousand fans.

In the period from 1962-1965. The capacity of the stadium was increased to 32,000 people. But the main reconstruction began in 1984. Fountains with water, bushes along the treadmills were removed and many changes were made. The arena began to consist of two tiers, and the capacity of the stadium increased to 34,800 fans.
