Narodowy – National pride, national disappointment

After many accidents and chance events the National Stadium is finally here. It survived an inefficient communication system between the staff, huge bonuses for managers who did not really fulfill their tasks, stairs which were not adequately constructed to bear the load of the weight of so many fans and replacement of the faulty turf. All of these + jogging of the Minister of Sports, Joanna Mucha (she promised to jog around the stadium if it wasn’t ready on time), were closely watched by the public. 

Finally the stadium is completed and it definitely is one of the most modern stadia in today’s Europe. During the European Football Championship 2012 five matches were played here. Recently the match between Poland and England did not take place because the roof of the stadium was not closed at the right time. Well, at least there are even more things to write about. The stadium definitely is Europe’s most famous one…

Enjoy our newest toy and national pride.
