PKO BP Ekstraklasa

Pogoń Szczecin will enter their 13th consecutive season at the highest level of the Polish league in the 2024/25 season. The team from Szczecin also entered the Polish Cup this season. Their pre-season goal was to finish the season in places that would guarantee playing in European Cups and fighting for the first trophy in the club's history.

The past season was a fascinating mix of triumphs and disappointments for Jagiellonia Białystok, from a brilliant start in the Ekstraklasa, through successes in the European arena, to a disappointing end. Under the leadership of charismatic coach Adrian Siemieniec, the "Pride of Podlasie" won third place in the league, reached the quarter-finals of the European Conference League (ECL) and lifted the Polish Super Cup, although their dreams of defending the championship title ultimately came to nothing. Let's take a closer look at this emotional journey.

Today we already know that Cracovia has become the only Krakow club in the Ekstraklasa. The Pasy team had a successful season, finally finishing in 6th place, although after the first rounds it seemed that they could even fight for European cups. The main hero of the team was Benjamin Källman. Fantastic matches, the best of which included the win over Motor Lublin 6-2 and the win over Śląsk Wrocław 4-2.

Widzew Łódź, thanks to the large amount of cash, is not afraid of transfers. Another one of them is Samuel Akere - a talented winger of good age. Remember, such a player would not come to Poland. So where is the catch? In the statistics. Only three goals and two assists in twenty-two matches in the Bulgarian top league do not impress anyone.

Radomiak Radom are entering their 4th consecutive season at the highest level of play in Poland for the 2024/25 season. The team from Radom also entered the Polish Cup this season. Their goal before the season was to stay at the highest level.

June 4, 2025 is a special day for football fans – Lukas Podolski, an icon of German and Polish football who continues to impress on and off the pitch, celebrates his 40th birthday. Born Łukasz Józef Podolski in Gliwice, "Poldi" is not only the 2014 world champion, but also a man who has never forgotten his roots.

The 2024/25 season by Raków Częstochowa is a story of a great comeback, an ambitious fight for the championship and a bitter taste of defeat at the last minute. Under the leadership of coach Marek Papszun, who returned after a year's break, the Częstochowa team finished the PKO BP Ekstraklasa in second place, scoring 69 points - just one less than the Polish champion, Lech Poznań. Raków confirmed its strength, especially in defense, conceding only 23 goals, making it the most solid defense line in the league.

GKS Katowice has made one of the most important transfer moves in its recent history. Mateusz Kowalczyk, a 21-year-old midfielder who has been shining in the colours of "GieKSa" since the beginning of the 2024/25 season on loan from Danish Brøndby IF, has been officially bought by the Silesian club. The contract with the young talent is valid until 2028, which confirms the ambitions of the Katowice team to build a strong team for the future.

Today, the Spaniard is one of the best central midfielders playing on Polish pitches. Despite his age and the aspects related to it, the little Andalusian makes up for it with his experience and field vision. But who is he and how did he end up in Poland? More about that in the following article.

Wisła Płock defeated Miedź Legnica 2-0 in the play-off final for promotion to Ekstraklasa. Goals for Płock were scored by Łukasz Sekulski and Jorge Jimenez.

The 2024/25 season played by Lech Poznań will be written in golden letters in the history of the club. "Kolejorz" won its ninth Polish championship title, confirming its dominance in the Ekstraklasa and regaining the crown after a three-year break. Under the leadership of Niels Frederiksen, the first foreign coach to lead Lech to the championship, the team from Poznań presented spectacular, effective and characterful football. This is the story of a season that will remain in the hearts of fans for a long time.
