Stadion Energa Gdańsk

The Gdańsk Stadium (Polish: Stadion Gdańsk), known for sponsorship reasons as the Polsat Plus Arena Gdańsk since May 2021, is a football stadium in Gdańsk, Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland. It is used mostly for football matches and is the home stadium of Lechia Gdańsk, which competes in the I liga, and the Poland women's national football team. The stadium is located at the 1 Pokoleń Lechii Gdańsk Street (English: Generations of Lechia Gdańsk) in the northern part of the city (Letnica district). The total capacity is 41,620 spectators, all seated and roofed. The stadium is the second largest arena in Ekstraklasa and the third largest in the country (after the Stadion Narodowy and the Stadion Śląski). Construction of the stadium started in 2008 and was completed mid-2011. The opening match was between Lechia Gdańsk and Cracovia and ended in a 1–1 draw. Its first international match was between Poland and Germany, on 6 September 2011 that ended 2–2. The match was relocated from Warsaw since the Stadion Narodowy was not ready. It has been used by Lechia Gdańsk since 'the White-and-Green' relocated there from the Gdańsk Sports Center Stadium. The stadium was also one of the designated venues for the finals of UEFA Euro 2012. It hosted four matches during the tournament; three matches in Group C and one quarter-final match were played there. It was originally scheduled to host the 2020 UEFA Europa League Final. However, following the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe, the final was postponed and later rescheduled to August at the RheinEnergieStadion in Germany behind closed doors; Gdańsk hosted the 2021 final instead. Villarreal won the match, defeating Manchester United 11–10 on the penalty shootout after the game ended in a 1–1 draw.
