It’s been a long and arduous Ekstraklasa season so far, starting all the way back on the 14th July when Lechia Gdańsk kicked it all off with a 2-0 away victory at Wisła Płock but it’s felt even longer as Polish clubs started their European (mis) adventure at the end of June. There have been […]

Lech Poznań’s Dawid Kownacki Photo: Przegląd Sportowy With 22 rounds of the season gone the Ekstraklasa title race is as intriguing as it’s ever been.

But there are some foreign watchers (including yours truly) and they often are far more positive about the Ekstraklasa than Poles themselves. I spoke to one relatively new Ekstraklasa observer, […]
I’ve tried to stay neutral over the whole debate over refugees in Poland, I’ve tried to understand the worries of a society which is not multicultural and which needs time to adapt to ethnic minorities.

After a short six week break the Ekstraklasa returns tonight as the 2015-6 season kicks off with Wisła Kraków taking on Górnik Zabrze and Lechia Gdańsk playing Cracovia. A new season means an open book for clubs and players that underachieved and for fans to believe that this season could finally be their year. At […]
The Ekstraklasa is finally over after 11 months and 37 rounds of matches. Lech Poznań finished as worthy winners in the end, with Legia Warsaw, Jagiellonia Białystok and Śląsk Wrocław qualifying for Europe and Zawisza Bydgoszcz and GKS Bełchatów dropping to the I liga. It’s been an enjoyable club season on the whole and it’s […]
