The stadium was completed in a relatively short time. Its stands have a capacity of 4,700 spectators, the field has heating, and there are comfortable underground facilities. Overall, the arena meets key criteria necessary for organizing international-level matches.

"Can a country where children play football during wartime and clubs build new stadiums be defeated? No chance! In addition to the new stadium, 'Left Bank' already has an artificial turf field with 1,500 seats, which was the first in Ukraine to receive a FIFA certificate, a covered dome, training fields, and a wonderful youth academy. Many Ukrainian clubs would envy such infrastructure. I thank Mykola Lavrenko and all dedicated enthusiasts who are investing in the development of Ukrainian football even during this difficult time! Thank you to the Armed Forces of Ukraine for their heroism and support from President Volodymyr Zelensky, which allows us to hold matches, develop football, and implement such global initiatives as a joint bid with Spain and Portugal to host the 2030 World Cup! We support our heroes-defenders through football and together we are bringing victory for Ukraine!" — UFA Chairman Andriy Pavelko noted after the presentation.
