Stadion Miejski w Chełmie – construction description

A state-of-the-art stadium is to be built in Chełm, replacing the run-down 1959 Municipal Stadium ("Stadion Miejski"). Work began in early 2025 with the demolition of the old facility, and the project is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2026.

The undertaking is expected to cost nearly PLN 95 million, almost half of which is subsidized by the Ministry of Sports and Tourism, with the rest to come from the city budget. Construction work is being carried out by the Mirbud company.

The new venue will gain a compact, rectangular form, adapted for football purposes. Two stands will be built along the pitch to accommodate a total of 4,500 spectators. The entire structure will be topped by a unified roof, and a facade of vertical steel profiles will also surround the stadium behind the goals, creating the effect of a unified, enclosed body.

The project also includes the construction of three training fields – one will be located right next to the stadium, and two more in other locations. The project is intended to serve the entire region, which is why it has been named the Lubelskie Football Center ("Lubelskie Centrum Piłki Nożnej").
