The Stadion Wojska Polskiego (, ), officially named Stadion Miejski Legii Warszawa im. Marszałka Józefa Piłsudskiego () in Warsaw, Poland, is an all-seater, highest fourth category football-specific stadium. The venue is located at the 3 Łazienkowska Street in Śródmieście district. It is the home ground of Legia Warsaw football club, who have been playing there since 9 August 1930. The stadium underwent a two-stage, complete reconstruction in the years 2008–2011. Only a small part of the main building facade was preserved from the old construction (with another part being precisely reconstructed). With space for 31,800 spectators it is the 5th biggest football stadium in Ekstraklasa and the 7th biggest in the country. The stadium is equipped with a heated pitch, training pitch, underground parking, sport bar, club museum and other facilities. The stadium, which for decades belonged to the Polish Armed Forces, is currently owned by the City of Warsaw. Construction Background The necessity to build a new stadium for Legia Warszawa players increased in the mid-1990s, when Legia had one of the most successful periods in its history.

Ultimately, however, until 1997 virtually nothing on this subject has been done. The complicated legal status of the land, which belonged to the military, effectively discouraged potential investors. The new hope came together with the new owners – Daewoo company, which bought the majority stake in Legia in the late 1996. The Korean club owners strongly lobbied the City of Warsaw to take over the property and invest in the new facility, however, the then owners of the site – the Military Property Agency – was not willing to sell the property. The deadlock existed for the next 5 years, during which time the Koreans sold the club. Eventually, the sale went through on 29 July 2002, when the City of Warsaw acquired the title to the land. Although the market value was estimated at 60 million PLN, the purchase price was agreed at 16 million PLN. In October 2004, Warsaw's chief architect Michał Borowski gave permission to build a new stadium on the said land. The decision led to the announcement of tender for redevelopment of the Legia's facilities. On 25 September 2006,
