The authorities of WKS Śląsk Wrocław have issued a statement banning Wisła Kraków fans from entering the city on the day of the 29th round Ekstraklasa match, scheduled for Saturday, February 28, 2026, at Tarczyński Arena Wrocław. The club cites safety and public order concerns, referring to a decision by the Municipal Police Commander in Wrocław. The decision applies to all holders of tickets for the away sector, meaning the team from Kraków will play the match without the support of their own fans. Śląsk emphasizes that invited guests from Wisła, including the board, may attend the stadium but under a different, supervised organizational arrangement.

The authorities of WKS Śląsk Wrocław have made an unprecedented decision to completely ban Wisła Kraków fans from entering Wrocław on the day of the scheduled 29th round Ekstraklasa match. The game is to be held on Saturday, February 28, 2026, at Tarczyński Arena Wrocław. The Wrocław-based club, citing a written decision by the Municipal Police Commander in Wrocław, officially announced that all persons identifying as Wisła Kraków fans are prohibited from entering not only the stadium but also the city on the day of the match. Śląsk's statement, published on February 27, is a direct response to a security threat assessment. The club noted that the decision covers all holders of tickets for the away sector, for whom an automatic refund has been arranged. At the same time, it was emphasized that invited guests from the official Wisła delegation, including the club's board, will be able to attend the match, but their presence will be organized in a different, supervised manner. The statement reads: „Out of concern for the safety of all participants of the sporting event and the residents of Wrocław, the club informs that persons identifying with the fan community of Wisła Kraków will not be welcome in the city on the match day”. The rivalry between Śląsk Wrocław and Wisła Kraków has a long history spanning decades. Fans of both clubs have repeatedly caused serious incidents, including the famous riots at Wrocław's train station in 2009, which required intervention by riot police units. The Polish Ekstraklasa, managed by Ekstraklasa SA, has strict regulations regarding the behavior of clubs and their fans, including a system of financial and point penalties for order violations, which can affect the final league standings. The reaction from Wisła Kraków was immediate and firm. The Kraków-based club announced it would file an official appeal to Ekstraklasa SA and the Polish Football Association (PZPN), considering Śląsk's decision disproportionate and violating fan rights and the principles of fair play. Wisła argues that it acted in good faith by selling tickets to its fans and is now placed in a situation where it may face consequences for the actions of the other party. The club's statement emphasized that „punishing a team for the host's decision to exclude away fans is a precedent not grounded in the regulations”. <timeline tytuł=
