Arena Gdansk

The venue's striking exterior resembles amber, which has long been extracted along the Baltic coast.
 

UEFA Capacity: 39,150
Record attendance: 34,444 (KS Lechia Gdańsk 1-1 MKS Cracovia Kraków on 14/08/2011)
Tenants: KS Lechia Gdańsk
Opened: July 2011

• Located in Gdansk's Letnica neighbourhood, the venue is situated in the middle of a triangle formed by the Old Town, the famous shipyards and the airport.

• The curved 45,000m2 exterior consists of 18,000 plates designed to resemble amber, which has long been extracted along the Baltic coast.

• The multi-functional venue, which took two and a half years to construct, includes a hotel and roller skating circuit.

Lechia have been playing at the venue since the start of 2011/12, the stadium replacing their former 12,000-capacity home in the district of Aniolki.

• On 6 September 2011 the Arena Gdansk hosted its first international game, and Poland were on the brink of their first ever win against Germany when Cacau's added-time goal earned the visitors a 2-2 draw.
