The stadium hosted a friendly between the USSR and Bulgaria in 1979. Remarkably, the stadium was the base stadium during UEFA Euro 1988 qualifying for the USSR. The stadium hosted two of the four home games of the qualifying campaign with matches against the national teams of Norway and Iceland. Both games gathered crowds of more than 30,000 people. One other game was played in Kiev and the other one in Moscow. Later, on 15 November 1989, the stadium also hosted a game of the 1990 FIFA World Cup qualification against the national team of Turkey.

The stadium was one of three Ukrainian-based home stadiums for the USSR. The other stadiums used were Republican stadium in Kyiv (12 matches) and Central Stadium of the Black Sea Shipping Company in Odesa (one match).

In 2015, TSK-Tavria played a home cup match with SKChF Sevastopol at the stadium.^[1]
