UEFA Euro 2012 matches

Don­bass Arena was in­cluded in the of­fi­cial bid­ding pro­ject sub­mit­ted by Poland and Ukraine for host­ing UEFA Euro 2012. The sta­dium was one of the venues for the UEFA Euro 2012. The sta­dium hosted group D stage games and one quar­ter-fi­nal and one semi-fi­nal game (with the other matches in that group played at Kiev Olympic Sta­dium). Un­like most new sta­di­ums being built in Poland and Ukraine, Don­bass Arena was not specif­i­cally built for the tour­na­ment.

The pro­ject of new sta­dium "Don­bass Arena" was con­ceived long be­fore Ukraine was named as co-host of Euro 2012. The owner con­sid­ered the pos­si­bil­ity of daily use of the arena. "Don­bass Arena" in­cludes three restau­rants, a lounge-bar, a fan cafe, nu­mer­ous fast-food out­lets, re­tail out­lets, a fit­ness cen­ter, cor­po­rate boxes and first aid rooms. The sta­dium also pro­vides fa­cil­i­ties for cor­po­rate events - pre­sen­ta­tions, press con­fer­ences, cel­e­bra­tions and con­certs. Sta­dium tours are avail­able which in­clude an ex­am­i­na­tion of the unique fea­tures of Don­bass Arena, a visit to the foot­ballers' rooms and FC Shakhtar Mu­seum and a visit to the FC Shakhtar brand shop for sou­venirs.

2014 conflict in Ukraine

On 20 May 2014, the sta­dium hosted a small "Peace March" against the vi­o­lence of the 2014 pro-Russ­ian con­flict in Ukraine and the self-pro­claimed Donetsk Peo­ple's Re­pub­lic.

On 22 Au­gust 2014, the sta­dium was dam­aged by what was re­ported to be ar­tillery shelling, as the Ukrain­ian armed forces clashed with pro-Russ­ian sep­a­ratists for con­trol of the town.

On 20 Oc­to­ber 2014, the sta­dium was again dam­aged by what was re­ported to be ar­tillery shelling. This time, the sta­dium sus­tained dam­age to the east and west sides and at least one large glass panel fell near a young girl.

Since July 2014, due to the dan­ger of the on­go­ing con­flict in Donetsk, Shakhtar used the Arena Lviv in the city of Lviv in west­ern Ukraine (600 miles away from Donetsk) as their tem­po­rary home ground. In early 2017, the club moved their home games to the Met­al­ist Sta­dium in Kharkiv (183 miles to the north of Donetsk). Ad­di­tion­ally, the club's ad­min­is­tra­tive head­quar­ters and player train­ing ses­sions have been re-lo­cated to the cap­i­tal city of Kiev.[11]

The sta­dium has re­mained un­used and closed to the pub­lic since FC Shak­tar were forced to aban­don it. How­ever, de­spite the on-go­ing con­flict, the sta­dium is slowly being re­paired. On 31 May 2018, the field turf was suc­cess­fully restored.
