Alfred Smoczyk Stadium, Speedway stadium in Leszno, Poland.
Alfred Smoczyk Stadium is a motorcycle racing venue in Leszno featuring a 330-meter syenite track and concrete grandstands. The facility accommodates around 15,000 spectators for speedway competitions and events.
The venue opened in 1953 through community effort, with local residents contributing labor to build this racing facility. The project grew from the community's desire to establish a major speedway center in central Poland.
The stadium is named after Polish speedway racer Alfred Smoczyk, a national champion whose legacy is central to local sporting identity. The venue has long served as a gathering place where fans celebrate motorcycle racing culture.
The northern section has designated spaces for visitors with disabilities, accessible through a ground-level tunnel beneath the stands. It is wise to arrive early during events to secure good viewing positions along the track.
The venue hosted the 1989 Speedway World Pairs Championship, which drew more than 45,000 spectators to the facility. This attendance figure exceeded the city's population at the time, demonstrating the sport's powerful draw in the region.
