OLYMPIC STADIUM

Slubice, Poland

OSiR Stadium (locally known as the Olympic Stadium) is a multi-purpose stadium in S?ubice, Poland, home of the IV liga football club Polonia S?ubice. It is located just east of the Oder river close to the German border.

Despite its name and contrary to common belief, the Olympic Stadium (originally named Ostmarkstadion) was not built for the 1936 Summer Olympics.

With the implementation of the Oder–Neisse line, the area passed to the Republic of Poland in 1945. The stadium underwent a complete refurbishment in 2003. It now counts as one of the oldest stadia in Poland with its historical south-eastern tribune reminiscent of an amphitheatre.
