History
The Educational-Training base of Dynamo Kyiv (NTB Koncha Zaspa) was opened in 1961 after the club won the Soviet Championship. In 1996, reconstruction began at the complex and it was reopened in March 1998. The project was managed by the well known architect Vitaliy Oksiukovsky. The facility is considered now one of the most modern in Europe and of the highest UEFA standards.[3]
After Ukrainian Independence, Dynamo Kyiv became the owners of the facility.
The record attendance for a game is 1,100 when Dynamo Kyiv reserves hosted Arsenal Kyiv reserves on 14 June 2007.[4]
