Marszałek Piłsudski Stadium (formerly Stadion Cracovia or Stadion Cracovii) is a football stadium located in Kraków, Poland. It is used mostly for football matches and it is the home ground of Cracovia. Originally, the first Cracovia stadium was built in 1912. It was demolished in mid-2009. From then until late 2010 entirely new construction has was raised in roughly the same location where the old stadium stood. After reconstruction the stadium holds 15,016 people. The stadium meets the criteria for UEFA Category 3
the stadium's design and construction has been frequently awarded in many architectural contests. In 2010 it was honored with the Janusza Bogdanowskiego award, given by the Archi-Szopa Association for the best architectural construction in Kraków City. The stadium is located south of Błonia Park (in the Zwierzyniec district of Kraków), near the stadium of Cracovia’s archrival Wisła Kraków.
The stadium is named after Polish legendary Chief of State – Marshal Józef Piłsudski
The 9 October 2016 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification match Ukraine v Kosovo was played in the stadium due to Ukraine's non-recognition of Kosovo's travel documents.
