History

Built in 1934 as Adolf-Hitler-Kampfbahn (en: Adolf Hitler Arena), this name was used until 1946. In 2004 it was given the new name of Ernest Pohl,[6] a famous Polish footballer who played for Górnik Zabrze. In 2016 the stadium was named "Arena Zabrze", although the formal name is still "Ernest Pohl Stadium".[5]

New stadium

A first stage of renovation was approved for 192.5 million złoty, and is to hold 24,563 spectators.[1] Three stands were opened on February 21, 2016. Completed stadium will have capacity of 31,871.
