Korona Kielce (2006–) |
The Kielce Municipal Stadium (Polish: Stadion Miejski w Kielcach), named EXBUD Arena due to the sponsorship reasons,[2] is a multi-purpose stadium in Kielce, Poland. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home ground of Korona Kielce. The stadium holds 15,500 spectators and was built in 2006. At the time, it was one of the most modern football stadiums in Poland.
On 1 April 2006, eighteen months to the day that construction started on the project, its inaugural match took place, an Ekstraklasa match between Korona and Zagłębie Lubin. The match finished in a 1–1 draw.
The old stadium of Korona is currently being used by Korona Kielce II (the reserve team).
