Relations between Wisła Kraków and Śląsk Wrocław have reached a critical point following the Wrocław club's decision to not admit away fans to the upcoming match. The 'White Star' responded with an unprecedented legal offensive, announcing a report to the prosecutor's office and demanding point deductions for their rival. Meanwhile, on the pitches of the Betclic 1. Liga, a weakened Ruch Chorzów managed to break their losing streak, defeating Stal Rzeszów despite playing with ten men after a red card for a debutant.
The conflict on the Kraków–Wrocław axis dominated current events in Polish football, moving the sporting rivalry from the pitch to courtrooms and disciplinary offices. The board of Śląsk Wrocław issued an official statement refusing to admit an organized group of Wisła Kraków fans, citing vague security concerns. This decision provoked an immediate and furious reaction from president Jarosław Królewski. Wisła Kraków announced it would file a report with the prosecutor's office, considering the actions of Śląsk officials to be unlawful and damaging to the club's image and its fans. The Kraków side is demanding radical sanctions from league authorities, including point deductions for the Wrocław team and the closure of their stadium to the public. In response to the narrative of an alleged threat, Wisła employed an unusual rhetorical device with an ironic tone. The club funded the care of capybaras at the Kraków zoo, intended as a sarcastic commentary on the absurdity of the accusations made by the match organizers in Wrocław. The case is taking on a systemic character, as the football community fears that the lack of a decisive reaction from the Polish Football Association (PZPN) will lead to the pathological practice of arbitrarily selecting fan groups under the pretext of security, which strikes at the foundations of league competitions. According to applicable Polish regulations on the safety of mass events and PZPN statutes, the host club is obligated to allocate at least 5 percent of the total stadium capacity to away fans, and any restrictions require solid evidential backing from security services. Parallel to the legal disputes, significant shifts occurred at the sporting level in the league. Ruch Chorzów secured a crucial victory over Stal Rzeszów, winning 2:1. This success is particularly significant because the 'Blues' had to cope with being a man down for a large part of the match. <przypis title=
