In 2018, the IIHF announced that both Novosibirsk and the city of Omsk would host the 2023 IIHF World Junior Championship and as a result of this, both KHL teams in both cities would build new, modern stadiums to host the games. Construction of the new arena began in August 2019 and was originally slated to be finished by September 2022, but was delayed and officially completed in December of that same year. The first event to be held at the arena was supposed to be held on February 21, 2023, with a tournament between the local law enforcement agencies during the Defender of the Fatherland Day holiday, but it was ultimately canceled, and the day was used to test the equipment in the arena.[1]
