Dnister
The ground sits in the urban-type settlement of Овидиополь rather than in Одесса. The address is Евгена Колесниченко Street, 40А — a street that carried a different name in earlier decades.
It opened in 1989 as «Днестр». In 2000 it was renamed after Виктор Дуков, a benefactor of the club who died on the pitch during a veterans' international in Германия.
For its first twenty-two years the tenant was ФК «Днестр» (Овидиополь), and the arena had one genuine run at a national level: the Первая лига from 2007 to 2011, with ninth place in 2009/10 the high point. The more remarkable season came earlier and lower down — 33 wins from 34 matches in the 1998/99 Одесская область amateur championship, with the regional cup alongside it. On 24 July 2007 goalkeeper Константин Стародубовский took his clean-sheet run past 1,000 minutes here in a goalless draw with «Александрия».
When «Днестр» was disbanded and the squad moved to Одесса as ФК «Одеса», the ground did not stay empty for long. ФК «Реал Фарма» played home fixtures here from midway through 2012/13 until 2015, in the Друга ліга. Since then the fixtures have been amateur, youth-school and veterans' matches.
The wooden seats were replaced with plastic during its working life; the capacity and the grass did not change with them.
