[edit]Origin
[edit]In 2012, the club's management made the first attempts to find land for the construction of the stadium. Yuri Sinitsa, founder of the Collar company, which produces goods for pets, undertook to build a football field at ZAZ.[10] The project investor is one of the company's divisions, the Kit and Pes enterprise. After the established of the football club FC Chernihiv, the owner of the team, Yury Yuryevich noticed that the existing stadium do not match the standards like Lokomotiv stadium (located not far from the Chernihiv Ovruch railway) and the Olympic sports training center is the Desna Chernihiv football field, its rent was quite high, and it was not always possible to play there and at this point he start developing his idea that a team needs its own infrastructure.[11]
At the end of 2014, local authorities gave permission to develop a project for the area.[12]
In the summer of 2016, the first construction work started and after 11 months, in May 2017, the football field, the building with changing rooms and showers, all communications, roads, parking lots were ready to receive visitors.[13][14]
In 2017, Chernihiv city Mayor Vladyslav Atroshenko, addressing the investor of this project, Yuriy Synytsya (PE "Cat and Dog"), noted that the idea of building this facility at his own expense is worthy of admiration and imitation.[15][16]
As the company's founder Yuriy Synytsya said at a meeting with Japanese partners on July 24, in 2017 a children's football school with modern teaching methods and coaches trained abroad will start working here. Over the next 4–5 years, the Chernigiv Arena will have covered grandstands for 5,000 visitors, a swimming pool and tennis courts. Investors hope that the modern sports complex will revive the ZAZ neighborhood and create favorable conditions for the development of sports in the city as a whole.[17]
