The Ufa Arena is an 8,522-seat multi-purpose arena in Ufa, Russia that opened in 2007. It was built on the site of the Trud Stadium (Ufa), which was demolished in 2005. The Ufa Arena replaced Ice Palace Salavat Yulaev as the home of Kontinental Hockey League ice hockey team, Salavat Yulaev Ufa.
The first events in the arena were the first two games of the 2007 Super Series, a hockey series between Canada and Russia juniors. Due to the incomplete construction of the arena, issues arouse regarding paint fumes, melting ice, and fog
The arena was the primary venue for the 2013 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, which was played from the last week of December, 2012 until the first week of January, 2013.
