Henryk Reyman Municipal Stadium in Krakow
The Henryk Reyman Stadium has a rich history dating back to the early 20th century. Wisła Kraków's early days were tied to a search for a home field – the club played in Jordan Park and Błonia Park, and in 1914 built its first home stadium in Oleandry. Unfortunately, the facility burned down in 1915. After the club's revival in 1918, efforts began to build a new stadium, which opened on April 8, 1922. It was located next to the current Wisła stadium. However, this facility also suffered from storms and damage.
In 1953, the White Star moved to a third stadium, built on the site of a former speedway track. The new facility was inaugurated in 1953, and over time, it became part of a larger sports complex. Floodlight masts were installed in June 1972. By the 1980s, the stadium began to deteriorate, and the planned reconstruction was never fully implemented.
At the beginning of the 21st century, the stadium underwent further modernization, with new lighting and a heated pitch installed. Another major renovation began in 2004. In 2008, the Krakow City Council decided to name the stadium after Henryk Reyman. Although Krakow did not host EURO 2012, the stadium was modernized and became one of the most modern in Poland.
In 2022-2023, the stadium underwent modernization and became the host of the third edition of the European Games. The facility hosted both Wisła Kraków and the Polish national team matches.

Wisła Kraków Training Center in Myślenice
Since January 1, 2014, Wisła Kraków players have been using the modern Training Center in Myślenice at 9 Zdrojowa Street. The facility provides comfortable conditions for training and recovery.
Location
The center is located in Myślenice, 30 km south of Krakow, in the "Sport Myślenice" complex in Zarabie – the city's tourist zone. Facilities include a sports hall, sports fields (including one artificial turf), tennis courts, a shooting range, a gym, a spa, and sanitary and catering facilities. The surrounding Makowski Beskid Mountains and Wieliczka Foothills provide ideal conditions for training and relaxation.
Creation of the base
On June 24, 2013, Wisła Kraków signed an agreement with the City and Commune of Myślenice and the "Sport Myślenice" company, securing the facility's use for 20 years. Construction began in July 2013, and its rapid pace allowed the facility to open on January 15, 2014.
Infrastructure
The center includes two full-size pitches – one with heated turf and a Duraspine Ultra 60 artificial pitch. The reserve turf allows for the rapid replacement of damaged sections. The modern building (1,000 m²) houses a gym, two locker rooms, trainers' rooms, a rehabilitation room, a wellness center, a briefing room, a warehouse, a laundry room, and a shoe-washing area. Thanks to this investment, Wisła Kraków has gained state-of-the-art modern training facilities.
School of Sports Championship.
Opened on September 1, 2021, the Wisła Kraków School of Sports Championships ensures the harmonious development of young footballers by combining education with training. It consists of a Private Primary School and, from 2022, a High School named after Tadeusz Łopuszański, one of the forefathers of Wisła Kraków. The institution educates students in the spirit of Wisła values and the club's over 115-year tradition.
The school is located in the Kraków Construction School Complex (ul. Szablowskiego 1) and includes sports classes: grades 7 and 8 of primary school and one high school class. Thanks to qualified staff, teaching is tailored to intensive training, enabling students to develop both athletically and academically. The school promotes an active lifestyle and prepares young people for social inclusion.
The facility is an integral part of the Wisła Kraków Football Academy, overseen by Jakub Błaszczykowski. In 2020, to enhance youth training, Krzysztof Kołaczyk, who initiated the establishment of the school, took over as Academy Director. The governing body is the Wisła Kraków Foundation, established by Tomasz Jażdżyński, Jakub Błaszczykowski, and Jarosław Królewski – members of the Supervisory Board of TS Wisła Kraków SA.
The school, supervised by the Małopolska Education Superintendent, offers comprehensive football training, constituting a key element in the development of future generations of Wisła players.
