Olympic Stadium in Wrocław (Polish: Stadion Olimpijski we Wrocławiu, German: Schlesierkampfbahn im Sportpark Leerbeutel, Olympiastadion, Hermann Göring Stadion) is a multi-purpose stadium in Wrocław, Poland. It is currently used mostly for speedway racing. It serves as the home stadium of Sparta Wrocław. The stadium has a capacity now of 35,000 people and was opened in 1928 as the Silesian Arena (Schlesierkampfbahn), when Wrocław was still part of Germany as Breslau. The stadium was supposed to be used as one of the main pitches on Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine. However, it was decided that a brand new stadium would be built for that event.
