Stadium[edit]

Skra stadium

Skra plays their home games at the 990 capacity Miejski Stadion Piłkarski Skra in Częstochowa. Because their stadium didn’t meet the capacity requirements of the I liga, in the first part of the 2021/2022 season they played every home match on the opponent’s stadium, as the home team. From April 7, 2022 to April 8, 2023, they play their home games at a substitute stadium GIEKSA Arena.[1]
