A serious crisis in relations between Wisła Kraków and Śląsk Wrocław after the decision to not admit away fans to the upcoming match. The management of the 'White Star' announced filing a notification to the prosecutor's office and is demanding drastic sporting sanctions, including point deductions for their rivals. Meanwhile, on the pitch, Ruch Chorzów broke their poor run, defeating Stal Rzeszów while down a man, which significantly affects the First League table standings.

Wisła goes to prosecutor's office

The Kraków club announced legal steps against Śląsk Wrocław in connection with the travel ban for White Star fans.

Demand for negative points

Wisła is demanding that PZPN impose severe sporting penalties on Śląsk, including point deductions and closure of the stadium in Wrocław.

Ruch's victory with ten men

Chorzów's team defeated Stal Rzeszów 1:0 despite a red card for a debutant, recording their first spring victory.

The conflict between Wisła Kraków and Śląsk Wrocław has turned into an open institutional war after the club from Lower Silesia officially refused to admit an organized group of fans from Kraków. This decision, motivated by general security reasons, met with an unprecedented response from president Jarosław Królewski. Wisła Kraków plans to file a notification to the prosecutor's office, arguing that Śląsk's actions bear signs of discrimination and unlawful restriction of access to a mass event. The Kraków club is demanding that disciplinary bodies of the PZPN impose negative points on WKS and close their stadium. In a gesture of ironic protest, Wisła also announced an unusual support action for the Kraków zoo, which is meant to contrast with the alleged threat posed by their fans. According to PZPN regulations, the host club is obliged to provide away fans with at least 5 percent of stadium seats. This rule is regularly circumvented by clubs citing police opinions or infrastructure defects, which has been causing controversy in Polish football for years. Parallel to off-pitch tensions, an exciting league clash took place in Rzeszów. Ruch Chorzów ended their winless streak, defeating the local Stal 1:0. The Silesians' success is exceptional because they achieved it playing with ten men after a debutant for the 'Blues' saw a red card. Stal Rzeszów, despite having the initiative and numerical advantage for a significant part of the match, failed to break through the visitors' defense. This win allows Ruch to breathe easier in the fight for promotion play-offs, while Stal must find form in the upcoming rounds. Meanwhile, Wisła fans anxiously await the match against Znicz Pruszków, in which their team will play without the injured Kacper Duda. „Czujemy się oburzeni i nie pozwolimy na takie traktowanie naszych fanów. Skierujemy sprawę do prokuratury i będziemy żądać ujemnych punktów dla Śląska Wrocław.” (We are outraged and will not allow such treatment of our fans. We will refer the matter to the prosecutor's office and will demand negative points for Śląsk Wrocław.) — President of Wisła Kraków, initiator of legal steps against Śląsk Wrocław.
