Club: Wis\u0142a Krak\u00f3w SA | Opening: 1953 | Capacity: 32,804<\/p>\n

History and description<\/h3>\n

Stadion Miejski im. Henryka Reymana was built in 1953 on a plot of land next to Wis\u0142a’s old stadium. The stadium was then still oval-shaped and included an athletics track.<\/p>\n

Stadion Miejski set its record attendance in 1976 when about 45,000 fans witnessed Wis\u0142a playing Celtic in the UEFA Cup.<\/p>\n

In 1985, Wis\u0142a presented a redevelopment plan and went on to demolish the main stand. However, once demolished, the club lacked the funds to continue with the works, and for ten years the stadium remained without main stand.<\/p>\n

The main stand was finally built in 1996. In the following years, the east stand underwent a major renovation, the running track was removed, and further temporary stands installed.<\/p>\n

In 2004, Wis\u0142a once more presented plans for a complete redevelopment of the stadium. One year later construction of a new south stand started, which was based on plans that counted for a capacity of around 20,000.<\/p>\n

However, when Poland got awarded the Euro 2012<\/a> tournament and Krak\u00f3w was chosen as a reserve playing venue, plans were upgraded to a capacity of over 30,000 to comply with UEFA requirements.<\/p>\n

Between 2005 and 2011, all stands were almost completely rebuilt, with works finally finished in October 2011.<\/p>\n

In its first decades, the stadium was often referred to as Stadion Wis\u0142y. The stadium got officially renamed Stadion Miejski im. Henryka Reymana in 2008, in honour of a player and captain of the club between 1910 and 1933.<\/p>\n\n\n \t\t\n\t\t\t\t
