History

The stadium opened on 24 May 1959 as the Rivne Technical Sports Stadium. Yuri Korkhov, the head of DOSAAF at the time, was instrumental in overseeing the project after 20 hectares of land were identified for the build. [1]

In September 1974, a major renovation took place and in 1983, following several requests from the speedway management to Moscow, a complete reconstruction of the Rivne stadium took place. The new track propelled the speedway team to success, helping them win the championship of the Soviet Union for three consecutive years from 1985 to 1987. [4]

The venue has hosted significant speedway events including a qualifying round of the Speedway World Championship in 1962 [5] [6] and 1991.

The team Rivne Speedway raced in the Team Speedway Polish Championship in 2005, 2006 and 2008 [7] and the stadium has continued to hold various international meetings.
