The PGE Arena Gdansk will host the much-awaited Group C opener between Spain, the current world and European champions, and Italy on Sunday.

Two other Group C matches, Spain vs Ireland and Croatia vs Spain, and the June 22 quarter-final between the winner of Group B and the runner-up of Group A, will also be played at the new stadium in Gdansk.

The PGE Arena Gdansk is one of the most modern and breathtaking pieces of architecture in the city, with a finish that puts visitors in mind of the warm amber for which the Baltic coast is famous.

It was finished in 2011, having taken three years to build.

Former Polish Cup and Polish Supercup winners Lechia Gdansk are based at the stadium, which according to the Arena management can hold 44,000 fans.

The stadium was designed by the architects RKW Rhode Kellermann Wawrowsky, as a focal point for the redevelopment of Gdansk.
