The '''Olympic National Sports Complex''' (also known as '''Olympic Stadium'''; {{lang-uk|Національний спортивний комплекс "Олімпійський"}}) is a multi-use sports facility in [[Kiev]], [[Ukraine]], located on the slopes of city's central Cherepanov Hill, [[Pechersk Raion]]. The stadium is the premier sports venue in Ukraine and the second largest in Eastern Europe after Moscow's [[Luzhniki Stadium]]. The complex also features several other sports facilities and is designed to host the [[Olympic Games]] (the stadium hosted some [[Football at the 1980 Summer Olympics|football]] matches at the [[1980 Summer Olympics]]).

Following extensive renovation works, including the construction of a new roof, the stadium was reopened on 9 October 2011 with a performance by [[Shakira]] and had its international inauguration with a 3–3 friendly draw by [[Ukraine national football team|Ukraine]] against [[Germany national football team|Germany]] on 11 November 2011. It will host the [[UEFA Euro 2012 Final|final]] of [[UEFA Euro 2012|Euro 2012]].

After [[History of Ukraine#Independence|Ukrainian independence]] in 1991, the stadium was given national status in 1996 and renamed again as the "Olympic" National Sports Complex. Kyivans still commonly refer to it as the ''Tsentralny'' (Central) or ''Respublykanskyi stadion'' (Republican Stadium), and the nearby [[Kiev Metro|metro]] station "[[Olimpiiska (Kiev Metro)|Olimpiiska]]" that was also called "Respublykanskyi Stadion".

In 1997–99, the stadium was renovated again in accordance with [[FIFA]] guidelines, and its capacity was reduced to 83,450. The stadium continued to be the home ground of Dynamo with the Lobanovsky stadium serving as a training ground. Sometime after 1998 big changes took place as the stadium was not efficient to be kept and maintained. Dynamo decided to reconstruct its Lobanovsky Dynamo Stadium as its primary ground because the attendance rarely exceeded 10,000 spectators. Since that time Olympic was used primarily for [[Association football|football]] international matches and was lent to [[FC Dynamo Kyiv]] for high-profile home games when a high turnout was expected. However, it is not the official home ground of Dynamo or any other Kyiv club, as they all have smaller home stadiums and training bases. The stadium is an official home ground of the [[Ukraine national football team]] and was the official venue of the [[Ukrainian Cup]] final until 2008. Since 2008 Olympic was under a major reconstruction in preparation for the continental championship.
