Olympic Plaza, Kiev

Olympic Plaza, Kiev

Olympic Plaza is a planned shopping mall in the Ukrainian capital city Kiev. If constructed, the Olympic Plaza will be located in front of the Olimpiysky National Sports Complex.

Currently, the mall's construction has been halted, as there are concerns that the construction of the Olympic Plaza will not provide the adjacent stadium with enough free space to accept the mass amounts of incoming tourists, coming to matches of the UEFA Euro 2012 championship held by host countries Poland and Ukraine. The Union of European Football Associations has even banned games at the stadium until their concerns with the Olympic Plaza are addressed.[1]

On November 1, 2007, the Kiev City Council adopted a resolution to refer to the firm responsible for the plaza's construction, with a proposal to compensate 200 million hryvnias for proposed demolition of the Olympic Plaza.[2] The Mayor of Kiev Leonid Chernovetsky stated on November 19 that he has signed a bill that would allow demolition of the Olympic Plaza.
