PKO BP Ekstraklasa

On May 17, 2025, the Municipal Stadium in Gliwice on Okrzei Street was filled to the brim with fans, a rare sight at this facility. The full audience - almost 10,000 fans, including national team coach Michał Probierz - came to watch an exciting match in which Piast Gliwice faced Górnik Zabrze in the 33rd round of the PKO BP Ekstraklasa. The match ended with a 2-0 victory for the hosts, but the event that dominated the discussions was the incident involving Górnik fans...

Young footballers in the Ekstraklasa are making their presence known on the pitch more and more boldly, showing that the future of Polish football is in good hands. After discussing the players from positions 15–11, it is time to take a look at the players who have not only gained their first skills, but are also systematically building their position in the league teams. In this part of the ranking, we present young players whose performances in the 2024/25 season are impressive in terms of quality and consistency of play. Here are the players from positions 10–6 whose names are worth remembering.

The Polish Ekstraklasa is changing before our eyes – it is increasingly focusing on youth. The guys born in 2003 and younger are not only catching minutes, but are also starting to decide the fate of matches. Less and less in this case – more and more quality, courage and real influence on the game. In this ranking, we look at the fifteen most outstanding young players of the 2024/2025 season. The first to go are places 15–11 – players who may not be in the spotlight yet, but are already playing regularly and leaving their mark on the pitch. These are the ones worth knowing before they hit the front pages of newspapers.

Legia Warsaw is better in the Ekstraklasa classic. The military defeated Widzew Łódź 2-0 after two goals scored in the first half of the match.

On Saturday, May 17, 2025 at 5:30 p.m., the Piast-Górnik derby will take place in Gliwice. This will be only the 28th match between these teams. The main reason was the fact that Piast was only promoted to the Ekstraklasa in the 21st century and, apart from the previous 2 meetings in the Polish Cup, these teams have not played each other. So this derby does not have the same traditions as, for example, Górnik, Ruch, GKS Katowice or Polonia Bytom. However, since the 2017/2018 season, since Ruch's relegation to the first league and Górnik Zabrze's return to the Ekstraklasa, the Silesian derby has come to the forefront, as other teams from this region have played in the Ekstraklasa sporadically since then, so although they do not match the history and traditions of other teams, in recent years they have become the most important duel in Upper Silesia.

On Saturday evening, at 20:15, a duel will begin on Ściegiennego Street in Kielce, which may decide the fate of the leader's seat. Raków Częstochowa will fight to regain the first place in the table, and everything promises emotions straight from a movie thriller

At the end of the 2024/2025 season, Piast Gliwice has decided to make a major change in the coaching position. After the departure of Aleksandar Vuković, the team will be led by Max Mölder, a 40-year-old coach from Sweden, who is to introduce freshness and a modern approach to the Gliwice team. Who is behind this name and what can fans expect?

Dawid Kroczek, the current coach of Cracovia, took over the team at the end of the 23/24 season. Then, after a weak season, Jacek Zieliński was fired. After this move, it turned out to be a good decision - the assistant started his debut match with a 3:1 win against Jagiellonia Białystok in Białystok, and at that time Jagiellonia was at the end of the season and fighting for the Polish Championship.

​Yesterday's postponed match of the 31st round of PKO BP Ekstraklasa was certainly not successful for Motor Lublin. The team from the Lublin region lost to Pogoń Szczecin 0:3. Fans may be worried not only by the result itself, but also by the dramatically poor defensive play. So the question arises whether a certain formula among Mateusz Stolarski's players has not already run out?

This Sunday afternoon, the 33rd round of PKO BP Ekstraklasa will be played at Józefa Kałuży 1, with Krakowska Cracovia facing off against Warsaw Legia. After the 32nd round, only 5 points separate the two teams, with Legioniści currently in 5th place and Pasy in 8th place. This match will stir up a lot of emotions and drama in the stands and on TV until the very end.

The 2024/2025 PKO BP Ekstraklasa season is entering its decisive phase. Two rounds before the end of the season, the situation in the table is tense to the limit. The fight for the title is primarily between Lech Poznań and Raków Częstochowa, and Pogoń Szczecin, which can take advantage of their opponent's stumble, is also joining the fight for the podium.
