The star project for this competition is the
National Stadium in Warsaw which was offi-
cially inaugurated on 29 January of this year
and hosted, on 29 February, the first Euro
match between Poland and Portugal.
The Eurocup 2012 games, organized
jointly by Poland and the Ukraine will be
played in eight stadiums. The National
Stadium in Warsaw is one of the five
that were specially built for this sum-
mer event, together with Baltic Arena
(Gdansk); the Municipal Wroclaw Sta-
dium; the Lviv Area, and the Olympic
Stadium in Kiev. The Municipal Stadium
in Poznan and the Metalist Stadium,
both of which were refurbished, and
the Donbass Arena, built in 2009, are
the other stadiums that will be hosting
the Eurocup competition.
Eight stadiums
Built next to the banks of the River Vistula,
the new soccer field stands out because of
its impressive exterior, decorated with the
colours of the Polish flag. Janusch, Techni-
cal Director of ALPINE Construction Poland
was at the helm of this major project sin-
ce December 2009, working together with
Marcin Borecki, Construction Engineer,
Ernest Kucharski, Deputy Director of Elec-
trical Works, and Konrad Kurta, in charge
of Finishes. After three years of work, they
succeeded in giving back a soccer stadium
to the city of Warsaw and its inhabitants.
The impressive stadium in the Polish capi-
tal, where Poland and Greece will play the
inaugural match, features a PVC retractable
roof which opens up from a kind of needle
suspended over the centre of the field.
