Stadion Śląski was rebuilt between 2009 and 2017 and has a fully covered capacity of 55,211.
On 30 May 2021, the European Athletic Association (EAA), the Polish Athletic Association (PZLA) and the Silesian Voivodeship signed a Letter of Intent for hosting the 2028 European Athletics Championships.[2][3] Katowice-Silesia previously bid for the 2024 edition which was awarded to Rome.[4]
