Polish Club Legia Warsaw Looks Forward With Plans For New $13M Training Base

Polish Ekstraklasa side Legia Warsaw is pushing forward an expansion program "with plans for a new training ground, despite missing out on the big cash win that comes with Europe's top club competition," according to Jaroslaw Adamowski of INSIDE WORLD FOOTBALL. Legia "is looking to build a new training base in Sulejowek," costing PLN 40M ($13M). The facility "will add seven new football pitches to its training facility and boost the operations of its youth academy." Sulejowek "is about 21km from Poland's capital city Warsaw." Under the plan, "construction work will begin next year." The club said that the first phase will be completed by '16, for Legia's 100th anniversary, and the second by the end of '18. The design for the new facilities "was prepared by Spanish architectural firm Estudio Lamela, which previously worked on the design of rival Polish football club Cracovia Krakow" (INSIDE WORLD FOOTBALL, 9/17).
