On Saturday, May 13, the key match during their stay at PKO BP Ekstraklasa will be played by players from Slask Wroclaw. The inhabitants of Wroclaw are over the abyss, and if they lose at home to Wisla Plock, they will say goodbye to the national elite in 15 years. This was announced on Twitter by the mayor of Wroclaw, Jacek Sutrik.
Recall that the authorities of the capital of Lower Silesia are the owners of the football club Śląsk Wrocław. For many years, the WKS has been a fairly solid player in the league, but in the last few seasons, they have become more and more stagnant. The effect of the mess in the management of the club is what is happening in Silesia now. The inhabitants of Wroclaw are one step away from going on an expedition together with Miedzia Legnica and Lechia Gdansk to … Fortuna of the 1st League.
Mayor Jacek Sutryk about changes in Slask Wroclaw
In recent weeks, the team has been led by coach Jacek Magiera. The coach, who had already been relieved of his duties in 2022 by the WKS, returned to the bench due to a huge sports crisis in the team. Magiera in the last round scored the first point after his return, Slask played a draw (1: 1) with Jagiellonia in Bialystok.
However, this may not be enough to sustain. The participants win their matches (including Korona Kielce against Rakow Częstochowa, Zaglenbie Lubin against Lechia Gdansk), so the people of Wrocław are in an increasingly difficult situation. On Saturday, May 13, WKS will play at home with Wisła Płock. In case of defeat, Šlensk will say goodbye to the national elite in 15 years.
Wrocław President Jacek Sutryk has been called to the board many times by fans on social media. The head of the capital of Lower Silesia is active online, but not necessarily on WKS-related topics. On Tuesday, however, Sutric responded to one of the local journalists, Petru Potempe, on Twitter.
“After the match against Wisla Plock, I will inform you about important changes in the functioning of the club. In the meantime, let’s get the players and coaching staff ready for the most important game of the season. Sincerely,” the President wrote.
Slask Wroclaw fights for survival in the match against Wisla Plock
It is difficult to say what exactly will change in the work of the Wroclaw club. Silesia receives millions of zlotys from the city, but this does not translate into sports results. Residents of Wroclaw can complain about this, whose money is invested in, to put it mildly, an unprofitable sports project. And this is regardless of the history of the club and how deservedly Silesia is in the history of Polish football.
On Saturday around 17:00 it will be known whether the first chapter of the league for the WKS will end after 15 years. The hosts must win, a draw with a five-point loss to Wisla and two rounds to go does little for Wroclaw. And the victory of the Vistula closes any, even mathematical, chances to save Silesia.
