Stal Mielec is a Polish football club based in Mielec, Poland. The club was established on April 10, 1939. The construction of the club's current stadium, Stadion Stali Mielec at Solskiego 1, was concluded in 1953, although it is currently undergoing major renovation. It maintains a seating capacity for 30,000 spectators and has hosted numerous European Champions Cup, UEFA Cup, and Polish national team matches, including FIFA World Cup and UEFA European Championship qualifiers. Historically, the club has enjoyed great successes within Poland's Ekstraklasa Premier League, winning the title twice (in 1973 and 1976), but has undergone significant management changes and financial difficulties within the past two decades that have forced the club from participation in the Premier League. It currently participates in the Polish Podkarpacka Fourth League.
