During the operations of the facility – since
January 1st, 2009 – the Hutnik KrakowMu-
nicipal Stadium has become a football arena,
meeting not only the licensing requirements
of the Polish Ekstraklasa league, but also in-
ternational standards, thanks to which it was
selected to be the training base for the Eng-
lish representation during 2012 UEFA Euro-
pean Championship. During the competition,
Krakow also hosted two other national teams
– the Dutch team trained at the Henryk Rey-
manMunicipal Stadium,and the Italian team
at the CracoviaMunicipal Stadium. The latter
facility will also be the arena for the European
U-21 Championship in 2017.
ZIS is consistently developing the sports
infrastructure in various districts of Krakow.
During these operations, the Board takes
advantage of the newest architectural, tech-
nical and technological solutions. A good
example of this is the water treatment and
filtration system for the indoor swimming
pool at the Prokocim Nowy housing es-
tate. Large savings in heating expenses are
guaranteed by the passive sports hall at the
Wysokie housing estate, which was opened
in 2014. At the Handlowe housing estate, an
indoor swimming pool is under construction,
which will be equipped with a state-of-the-
art moveable bottom system. The KS Orzeł
Piaski Wielkie sports hall stands out with its
functionality and sports field area.
TheMunicipality of Krakow and the Sports
InfrastructureManagement Board of Krakow
are continuing the construction and moderni-
sation of estate and school multi-functional
sports fields. Further sports facilities are un-
dergoing revitalisation.
