Only in Ukraine building and reconstruction of the stadiums are funded by private investors …
Ukraine - perhaps the only country where the construction and reconstruction of the stadiums are financed from the pockets of private investors. On that count domestic businessmen, burying billions in football fields?
Football Stadium Soccer City has not had time to build, as has already become a new landmark in Johannesburg, the largest city in South Africa. And all thanks to the original form, resembling a pumpkin, or, as it is known here, Calabash. Organizers of the world soccer championship World Cup 2010, which will be held next summer in South Africa, trying to show originality in the approach to each of the eight stadiums built in the country. To do this, the state allocated $ 671 million all - from the treasury, private investment is not scheduled.
In Ukraine, where in full swing preparing for the football championship Euro-2012, the situation is somewhat different. The initiative in financing the construction of stadiums have made local businessmen. They bury billions in soccer arenas of the Ukrainian cities, which have the greatest impact. What if this guide private investors - the desire to join the ranks of patrons or purely practical expectation of obtaining a good profit?
anxious waiting
All resolved on November 30. Then, on Ukraine's way of preparing for the championship once again appreciate the commission of UEFA. Then in December during a meeting in the Portuguese Madeira experts will make the final decision on the host cities. The question to be Euro-2012 in Ukraine or not to be already practically settled. In mid-September, the executive committee of UEFA has changed the evaluation of readiness of the country for the championship, raising it to the red to yellow. The ultimate goal - green rating, but to get it, we must also work well.
pace of reconstruction of Ukrainian stadiums have become one of the key factors that determined the progress of Ukraine in the eyes of the football committee. In the updated version of the program to prepare the country for the championship total amount for the reconstruction is 4,7 billion UAH. Of these 2,7 billion UAH. allocated from the state treasury, 647 million UAH. - From local budgets. Another 1,4 billion UAH. - Money from private investors.
lion's share of public funding was the construction of the Kiev stadium Olympic. The cost of the reconstruction is estimated at 1,5 billion UAH. From which to date has mastered about 600 million UAH. Arena will operate after the Euro-2012, - promised to somehow Yuriy Pavlenko, head of the Ministry of Family, Youth and Sports. According to him, NSK Olympic will become a training center for athletes, there will be a variety of cultural and mass events.
optimistic and the government of Lviv, where the stadium is built under the working title Lemberg. Its price is 610 million UAH. That stand out from the local and state budgets. To date, managed to collect 300 million UAH - is the money received from the sale of bonds issued by the city. Another 100 million UAH. pledged from the state treasury. The main thing - that the efforts justified because, despite receiving funding, rapid pace of construction will not name. The delay in the construction of the stadium is due to the adaptation of the Austrian project to Ukrainian standards of construction. Now the construction of the object does not cease, and all their actions prime contractor agrees with UEFA, - persuades Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovy. In turn, the expert committee of Euro 2012 Andrei Kapustin said that the case in Lviv situation is not like trying to provide local authorities. UEFA casts doubt on the possibility of putting the Lvov stadium in the spring 2011, - emphasizes the expert.

If fears UEFA commission met, the place of Lviv in the list of host cities will Dnepropetrovsk, which is now together with Odessa is located in the reserve. Stadium Dnipro Arena opened a year ago and becamethe first project, implemented for the money the private investor. The owner of FC Dnipro Igor Kolomoisky it had cost 500 million UAH. Much less likely to be in demand in 2012 in Odessa stadium Chernomorets. His willingness experts estimate no more than 3%. Funding for the reconstruction of twice the price of the Dnepr-Arena and also carried out a private investor - the owner of FC Chernomorets Leonid Klimov.
3,4 billion UAH. invested by the owner of FC Shakhtar Rinat Akhmetov, a newly opened stadium Donbass-Arena, tweaking all the digits in the training program for the football championship. Private injections in a volume training program to Euro-2012 is not expected. Mr. Akhmetov, a hundred percent sure that after examination of UEFA in late autumn Donetsk will remain in the list of cities where football matches will be held. Although in any case for him Donbass-Arena - primarily image project.
With similar considerations guided and another representative of big business, the president of DCH Alexander Yaroslavsky. 190 million UAH. That he has already invested in the construction of the stadium Kharkiv Metalist - just a manifestation of love for the city and the realization of childhood dreams. So he explained his interest in financing this project, whose total cost amounts to 636,6 million UAH. The stadium - is primarily a social project. The term of payback - two hundred years …, - says Mr. Yaroslavsky. However, if the Euro-2012 Kharkiv bestow his visit, the investments can return businessman much faster, given that virtually the entire infrastructure of Kharkov is under its direct and indirect control. Today the stadium Metalist ready for 95%, estimated in the group DCH, which allows you to talk about ahead of the schedule of putting the facility into operation.
Hope to return
Football must love, to risk so much money - so Artem Novikov, managing partner of consulting company Dialogue-Classic, spoke about the private investment in the Ukrainian stadiums. Expectations of businessmen who finance the construction of Ukrainian football stadiums, return on investment, at first glance, quite bleak. In those countries where the sport - a big business, and owners of sports teams earn advertising, television, etc., possess a modern stadium just need to be divided opinion, Mr. Novikov. The world's most profitable stadiums earn an average of $ 200 million a year, says Natalia Stelmakh, Deputy Director, Head of DTZ's investment in Ukraine (international consultant in the field of commercial real estate and investments). Such projects pay for themselves in about three years. Accelerate return on investment can include other sporting events at the stadium, the organization of musical concerts.
As for Ukraine, the construction of stadiums economically viable only in cities with teams whose players are the most prestigious sporting tournaments. Ukrainian clubs taking part in all European football cups. This means that the territory of Ukraine are not only matches the local championships, but also international fights. Expansion of a stadium location, says Andrew Kapustin, will only strengthen the positive image of the country as a strong football state. Euro 2012 - a good opportunity for Ukraine to establish a basis for the formation of such image, stadiums and investors understand this very well.
Similarly, the authorities of the South African city of Johannesburg in time to understand the implications for their city and for the country as a whole will have a World Cup 2010. That is why they do not spare the money to build a stadium in the form of a pumpkin, of which may soon begin to fall golden seeds.
