The Arena Zabrze,^[4]^[5]^[6] also known as the Stadion im. Ernesta Pohla (Ernest Pohl Stadium),^[1] 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[edit]

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".^[6]
