Edmund Szyc Stadium, Sports stadium in Wilda district, Poznań, Poland.
The Edmund Szyc Stadium stands between Maratońska Street and Droga Dębińska, featuring concrete structures that once accommodated up to 60,000 spectators for sporting events.
Built in 1929 for the General National Exhibition, the stadium required immediate evacuation during its opening ceremony due to structural issues with the VIP stand.
The stadium witnessed ten international matches of the Polish national team, including a notable 7-0 victory against the United States in 1975.
The City of Poznań acquired the property in 2018 for 10 million złoty and plans to transform the area into a public park with water features.
During World War II, the stadium served as a camp for British and French prisoners before being converted into a concentration camp site.
