The Arena Zabrze,[2][3][4] also known as the Stadion im. Ernesta Pohla (Ernest Pohl Stadium), is a football stadium in Zabrze, Poland. It is the home ground of Górnik Zabrze. Originally constructed in 1934, it is currently in the process of complete rebuilding.
History
Built in 1934 as Adolf-Hitler-Kampfbahn (en: Adolf Hitler Arena), this name was used until 1946. In 2005 it was given the new name of Ernest Pohl, 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".[4]
