28 Forgotten Stadium Grounds Around The World Left Abandoned

14. Stadion Wrocław – Wrocław, Poland

Built in 1935, Stadion Wrocław (formerly known as Olympic Stadium Wrocław) was one of Poland’s key sporting venues before and after World War II. Initially constructed to host multi-purpose events, it had a capacity of 40,000 and played host to domestic football matches, athletics competitions, and even speedway racing. Over the years, the stadium saw a decline in major event hosting as newer, more modern venues were constructed across the country. By the 2000s, its infrastructure had deteriorated significantly, leading to its closure in 2007. Since then, the stadium has been left largely abandoned, with no clear plans for renovation or redevelopment. The once-impressive grandstands now sit empty, crumbling under the weight of time and neglect. Trees and vines have overtaken sections of the structure, making parts of the stadium look like an ancient ruin. Though some community efforts have been made to preserve parts of the venue, Stadion Wrocław remains in a state of limbo, with its future uncertain.
