Sheriff Arena (Russian: Главная арена спорткомплекса «Шериф») is home to Sheriff Tiraspol, a football team based in Tiraspol, capital of Transnistria, a breakaway region of Moldova. It is owned by the local Sheriff corporation. It has a capacity of 12,746.[1]

The stadium occupies more than 40 hectares and consists of the main field plus five other fields, training fields, a covered indoor arena for winter use as well as a soccer school for children and on-site residences for the players of Sheriff Tiraspol.

In June 2022, UEFA ordered that no European games would be permitted to be played in Transnistria, as a direct consequence of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[2] Sheriff played all of their home fixtures in the 2022–23 UEFA Europa League and 2022–23 UEFA Europa Conference League at Zimbru Stadium in Chișinău.
