Key facts
Club: Motor Lublin | Opening: 2014 | Capacity: 15,400 seats
History and Description
The Arena Lublin is the recently opened new municipal stadium of the city of Lublin and the new home of Motor Lublin. The new stadium replaced the old municipal stadium, which opened in 1961, can hold just over 3,000 spectators, and is located just north of the new arena.
First plans for a new stadium were made in the middle 2000s, but it took many more years for them to become concrete. Planning permission for a site that previously housed a sugar factory was obtained in 2012, and building works started in the spring of 2013.
The Arena Lublin officially opened on 21 October 2014. The first match, a match between the Polish and Italian U-21s, was played three weeks later. The stadium came at a cost of PLN155 mln.
In 2016, Gornik Leczna moved into the Arena Lublin. The club, from a small town 25 kilometres east of Lublin, hoped to increase revenue through the move, but it led to strong resistance among their fans and declining attendances.
