Edmund Szyc Stadium, Sports stadium in Wilda district, Poznań, Poland.
Edmund Szyc Stadium is a sports venue in the Wilda district of Poznań, located between Maratońska Street and Droga Dębińska. The concrete structures were designed to hold up to 60,000 spectators during athletic competitions and major sporting events.
The stadium was built in 1929 for the General National Exhibition. Its opening ceremony required immediate evacuation of the VIP stand due to structural concerns.
The stadium witnessed ten international matches of the Polish national team, including a notable 7-0 victory against the United States in 1975.
The site can be reached on foot from downtown and is easy to navigate using the nearby Maratońska Street as a reference point. Check ahead about access conditions, as redevelopment plans for the area may affect visitor access over time.
During World War II, the grounds initially held a camp for British and French prisoners of war. The site was later repurposed under tragic circumstances and serves as a reminder of that dark period.
