Ural FC Academy Stadium
Yekaterinburg, Russia
Formerly: SKB-Bank Arena, Uralmash
Before it belonged to a football academy, this ground belonged to a factory. It was built in 1934 for the workers of the Uralmash plant, and the pitch carried that name for decades before anyone thought of it as part of a club's infrastructure.
The rebuild came later and changed the ground's purpose entirely. A reconstruction completed in 2014–2015 turned the old workers' stadium into a modern facility, and it reopened on 26 July 2015 with a first-team fixture between Ural and Zenit. The pitch itself now runs on natural grass with underground heating and automatic irrigation, a detail that matters through an Ural winter.
The site sits on Festivalnaya Street, still within reach of the district it was built to serve.
