A few weeks later, the municipality detailed a modernization project for the Spodek arena, replacing metal‑halogen lighting with over 700 LED luminaires and installing new power, control and fibre‑optic cables to meet broadcast standards and improve the spectator experience. The upgrade builds on a 2025 investment that refreshed the arena’s floor and audience areas, underscoring Katowice’s ongoing effort to enhance its sports facilities ahead of the forthcoming championship and other events.
