The President of Warszawianka Sports Club Ryszard Fijałkowski presented plans to rearrange the club's sports facilities at a press conference Jan. 10. The main project will involve building a track-and-field stadium, to be named after Janusz Kusociński. It will be located on the Vistula River escarpment and will have modern audience stalls on the western side, seating 10,000 people. It will have a nine-lane track as well as long jump, triple jump, high jump and pole vault areas and shotput, hammer, discus and javelin areas. The full-size soccer field will meet FIFA standards. There will also be a warm-up field for athletes, basketball, volleyball and badminton courts. The stadium's state-of-the-art infrastructure will make it possible to organize and host large-scale sporting events there.
The stadium was designed by Kancelaria Inwestycyjna Property-Project. It will meet the latest regulations of the IAAF that came into force last year.
Talks on financing the project will soon begin. Club authorities count on support from Totalizator Sportowy lottery company, individual sponsors and city authorities, just a few of the organizers of the 50th Janusz Kusociński Memorial and the Olympic Youth Festival to be held in 2007. Warszawianka's strategic sponsor, the TOP-2000 company has already financed the design stage.
The stadium is to be completed in the spring of 2004 and will be ready for the jubilee 50th Janusz Kusociński Memorial to be held in late May/early June next year. Construction costs will reach a total of zl.28 million.
Along with the new stadium, plans for other facilities which will be built on the club's grounds were also presented. The next spring the construction of a tennis complex with a 12-court hall will begin, along with the construction of a sports and entertainment hall, a sports hotel and a boarding house. The designs were prepared by Autorska Pracownia Architektury Kuryłowicz & Associates studio.
