Arena Lublin
The ground stands in the Za Cukrownią district on the site of the old "Lublin" sugar factory. Spanish practice Estudio Lamela drew it, Budimex built it, and the design changed along the way: what began as a rectangle became a rounded, opaque shell with a blinds-like façade, added to make room for commercial space rather than for seats. Groundbreaking came in December 2012, the opening in October 2014, at a cost of some 136 million PLN. What it replaced was the Municipal Stadium, which held around three thousand.
Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Dynamo Kyiv have played their European home matches here — Champions League, Europa League and Conference League, against Red Bull Salzburg, Maccabi Tel Aviv and Crystal Palace among others. A neutral venue by circumstance, several hundred kilometres from Kyiv.
The fullest the ground has been was 1 December 2021, when 14,914 came for a Polish Cup round-of-16 tie and Motor Lublin lost 1–2 to Legia Warsaw. Motor's name went on the building itself on 19 February 2025, after the club won the sponsorship competition — around 42,000 PLN a month, running to the end of 2027, and Arena Lublin became Motor Lublin Arena.
Before that it took the 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup, two Polish Cup finals, and a World Cup qualifier between Estonia and the Czech Republic.
