Yubileyny Sports Palace (Template:Lang-ru), Sportivniy kompleks Yubileyniy; also translated as Yubileiny (Jubilee) Palace of Sports, is an indoor sports arena and concert complex located in St. Petersburg, Russia. It houses 7,012 seats for ice hockey and up to 7,700 seats for basketball. It is accessible from the Sportivnaya metro station. The complex was completed in 1967 as a present from the Federation of Trade Unions to the city on the 50th anniversary of Soviet power.

The Palace hosts a wide variety of activities, including athletic training and competitions, conventions, festivals, and musical concerts. The arena is the home venue of basketball club Spartak Saint Petersburg, hosting both the men's and women's teams games.

Yubileyny Sport Club

The Yubileyny Sports Palace's ice rink is home to the Yubileyny Sport Club, a prominent training center for figure skating. It is also referred to as SDUSHOR St. Petersburg (Template:Lang-ru).[1] During the 1990s, the rink often had poor-quality ice and other problems, resulting in limited training time even for the 1994 Olympic champion, Alexei Urmanov.[2][3] Conditions improved in the next decade. Coaches have included Alexei Mishin, Igor Moskvin, and Tamara Moskvina, while skaters who have trained there include:
