Sporting events in Silesia: halls and arenas in Katowice, Bielsko-Biała, Gliwice, Ruda Śląska and Jastrzębie-Zdrój.

The calendar of sporting events in the Silesian Voivodeship covers a dozen or so dates spread over eight towns. They take place in sports and entertainment halls, on an ice rink and in cultural centres, with the most in Katowice and Bielsko-Biała.

Where in Silesia should you look for sporting events?

Katowice has the most, with five dates in the calendar, followed by Bielsko-Biała with three. Ruda Śląska has two, and Pszczyna, Gliwice, Świętochłowice, Jastrzębie-Zdrój and Częstochowa one each.

Katowice has the page Katowice, Bielsko-Biała has its page Bielsko-Biała, and Gliwice has Gliwice. You will find Częstochowa, Pszczyna and Jastrzębie-Zdrój on Częstochowa, Pszczyna and Jastrzębie-Zdrój.

In which halls and arenas do the events take place?

Some venues are sporting by name alone: the Hala Widowiskowo-Sportowa im. Rudzkich Olimpijczyków in Ruda Śląska, the sports and entertainment hall in Jastrzębie-Zdrój, the BKS Stal hall in Bielsko-Biała, the Hala Polonia run by the sports and recreation centre in Częstochowa, the Small Arena of the PreZero Arena in Gliwice, Energy2000 Katowice and the Spodek ice rink in Katowice.

Sports and entertainment halls usually serve both competitions and large public events, so check the description to see whether you are going to a match or to another programme. The name of the Spodek rink already shows that the event is on ice. The Hala Polonia in Częstochowa also appears in the calendar of events for children, so not every date there is a competition.

Where does sport appear outside the halls?

The sports calendar also covers cultural centres and other rooms: the Miejski Dom Kultury Szopienice-Giszowiec in Katowice, the Centrum Kultury Śląskiej in Świętochłowice, the Bielskie Centrum Kultury, the Pszczyńskie Centrum Kultury, Katowice Miasto Ogrodów and the Kamienica Pod Orłem (its Sala Redutowa) in Bielsko-Biała.

In these places sporting events have a different character than in the halls: they may be meetings, shows or accompanying events, and less often matches played for points. So open the event card before you go. For other kinds of events in the region see Music, Theatre and Cinema.

How do you find the right date and get a ticket?

Begin with the town and the day, and switch on the sport category last. If the list is short, widen the range of days. The ticket is bought from the seller to whom the link on the event card leads.
