Today, on the 29th August Donbass Arena Opening Ceremony will present Ukraine to the whole Europe! It will be an unmatched opening!
Mass choreography will involve 1,500 volunteers. The show will also feature international pop-stars like Beyonce and others, and a pyrotechnic show performed by the best global pyro masters, shared Mr Balich, K-Events President (Italy). The two-hour long Opening Ceremony will definitely feature football elements and involve FC Shakhtar team”, says Oleksandr Atamanenko, Donbass Arena Operations Director.
Donbass Arena is the first stadium in Eastern Europe designed and built in line with Elite-Class UEFA standards (5-Star Standard). It will be one of the best in Europe and intended for 50 thousand spectators. The project of the staium with a set-up park around it cost USD 400m.
The construction was launched in 2006. The general contractor is a Turkish company ENKA. Donbass Arena was designed by ArupSport Company, which has built the City of Manchester Stadium (Manchester, England); Allianz Stadium (Munich, Germany); Espanol Stadium (Barcelona, Spain); and Sydney Football Stadium (Sydney, Australia).
An exceptional engineering solution – the soaring roof effect – will make the Stadium resemble a flying saucer. The oval shape and the glazed façade ensure a memorable outlook. The external lighting will make the Stadium shine like a diamond at night. The interior design will accommodate all fans in a single bowl rather than in four separate stands. The first row of seats is very close to the pitch offering excellent visibility. The seating area slightly curves on the corners to give a better view. An area of 170 seats has been designed for wheelchair users and their companions.
Donbass Arena will also host three restaurants, four bars for owners of season-cards, a lounge-bar, dozens of fast foods, sales outlets, a fitness centre as well as a fan-café, a museum and FC Shakhtar brand shop. There will be 227 Toilet rooms with 471 WC and 333 Wash Basins!
The state-of-the-art equipment, enabling to sell a glass of beer at lowest prices during the substantially–reduced serving time, has been installed at the fast-food outlets of Donbass Arena! The equipment, manufactured by a British company Cornelius, involves a unique Ultra Flow process making it possible to fill up one half-litre glass within 4 seconds the most. For comparison a similar procedure takes circa 30 seconds at a regular bar.
Alongside football matches, the Stadium will also be a place for concerts and shows. The Stadium’s facilities and acoustics will meet demands of local artists and international superstars.
