Club: BATE Borisov | Opening: 2014 | Capacity: 13,126 seats<\/p>\n

History and description<\/h3>\n

The Borisov Arena is the recently opened new home of BATE Borisov and the temporary standard playing venue of the Belarus national team.<\/p>\n

BATE started exploring the possibility of building a new stadium following their success in reaching the group stages of the Champions and Europea League in 2008 and 2009. Since their home ground, Haradzki Stadyon, in Barysaw did not meet UEFA requirements, they had to play their European games in nearby Minsk.<\/p>\n

Construction of the new arena started in 2010 and was completed 3.5 years later. The Borisov Arena officially opened on 3 May 2014 with the Belarus Cup final between Neman Grodno and Shakhtyor Soligorsk (0-1).<\/p>\n

The Borisov Arena has also become the standard playing venue of the Belarus national team while Dinamo Stadium is undergoing major redevelopment works.<\/p>\n
