The Stadion Narodowy ( Polish pronunciation: [ˈstadʲjɔn narɔˈdɔvɨ], English: National Stadium), known for sponsorship reasons as the PGE Narodowy since 2015 (with patron Kazimierz Górski being added in 2021), is a retractable roof football stadium located in Warsaw, Poland. It is used mostly for concerts and football matches and is the home stadium of the Poland national team.

With a seating capacity of 58,580, the stadium is the largest association football arena in Poland. Its construction was started in 2008 and finished in November 2011. It is located on the site of the former 10th-Anniversary Stadium, at the Zieleniecka Avenue in Praga Południe district, near the city centre. The stadium has a retractable PVC roof which unfolds from a nest on a spire suspended above the centre of the pitch. The retractable roof is inspired by the cable-supported unfolding system of Commerzbank-Arena in Frankfurt, Germany, and is similar to the newly renovated roof of BC Place in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The stadium is also very similar to the Arena Națională in Bucharest in terms of age, capacity and the roof.
