It\u2019s fair to say that the Stadion Gda\u0144sk (currently known as Polsat Plus Arena Gdansk for sponsorship reasons) would almost certainly have been a stadium that most football supporters didn\u2019t even know existed if it hadn\u2019t been selected as the venue for the final of the 2020 Europa League. Its use came on the back of the Olympic Stadium in Baku having been the final venue the year before, though, so it was noteworthy for being easier to get to if nothing else. The home of Lechia Gda\u0144sk wasn\u2019t exactly high up on the list of priorities when ht came to stadium visits for most English football fans prior to 2020, but they at least had to Google it once it became clear that there was a chance that a team they support might end up playing a match there.<\/p>\n

It is perhaps damning it with faint praise to suggest that the Europa League final is the only reason for the stadium to make an impression on football fans, though, when you consider that it is the third largest stadium in Poland. It took three years to build and cost a little over \u20ac200 million, hosting four Euro 2012 matches when the honour of doing so was shared between Poland and Ukraine. That included Germany\u2019s 4-2 quarter-final victory over Greece and all three of Spain\u2019s Group C matches earlier in the tournament. That was because it had been built with one eye on hosting the matches, being part of the Polish bid for the Championships.<\/p>\n
