What you need to know about Poland, Nigeria friendly venue

The Municipal Stadium in Wroclaw is the largest arena in Ekstraklasa and the third largest in the country (after the National Stadium and Silesia Stadium).

The Stadium is located in Wrocław, in the Fabryczna district administratively belonging to the Pilczyce Osiedle.

The construction of the stadium began in April 2009 and was completed in September 2011.

The Stadium was opened on September 10, 2011, with a boxing fight between Tomasz Adamek and Vitali Klitschko for WBC heavyweight title.

The first football match, between Śląsk Wrocław and Lechia Gdańsk, was played on October 28, 2011. Śląsk won the match 1:0 and Johan Voskamp was the first goal scorer at the new stadium.

Currently, the stadium can be reached by different kinds of public transport. By buses: 103, 403, 435 and tram 31PLUS from the north side, and by the trams 3, 10, 20, 33PLUS, and bus 128 from the south side.

Poland national football team plays often in this stadium. Inauguration match was played against Italy on November 11, 2011. Next friendly match will be played with team Nigeria on March 23, 2018.

The stadium was used as one of the venues for the UEFA Euro 2012. Three group A matches were played there (with the other matches in that group played at the National Stadium, and Warsaw).
