Municipal Stadium Wroclaw

Resembling a Chinese lantern, Wroclaw's venue saw an Ekstraklasa record crowd when it opened.
 

UEFA Capacity: 40,000
Record attendance: 42,771 (WKS Śląsk Wrocław 1-0 KS Lechia Gdańsk on 28/10/2011)
Tenants: WKS Śląsk Wrocław
Opened: September 2011

• Poland's third UEFA EURO 2012 venue was officially opened with a George Michael concert on 17 September 2011, a week after hosting the world heavyweight boxing title fight between Vitaliy Klitschko and Tomasz Adamek.

• Constructed by the Sleza river and connected to the city centre by a new tram line, the stadium's shape resembles a Chinese lantern.

• It has been built as part of a complex including offices, conference halls, a fitness centre, casino and the museum of local favourites Śląsk.

• Johan Voskamp scored the first goal at the new venue on 28 October 2011, a 51st-minute penalty as Śląsk defeated Lechia Gdańsk 1-0. The game was a 42,771 sell-out – the highest since the Ekstraklasa was established in 2005/06.

• Mario Balotelli and Giampaolo Pazzini secured a 2-0 victory for Italy in the first international match at the new stadium, on 11 November 2011.
