History

[edit | edit source]

Built in 1934 in what was then Germany as Adolf-Hitler-Kampfbahn (en: Adolf Hitler Arena), this name was used until 1946. After World War II, in 1945, Zabrze was incorporated into Poland, and Soviet troops stationed at the stadium destroyed its pitch, but the name from the times of German administration was used in documents until 1946.[9] In 2004 (the name came into effect in 2005) it was given the new name of Ernest Pohl,[7] 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".[6]

New stadium

In 2023, second phase of renovation main stand will be start until completion in 2025.
