However, the most important part of matches in Poland are the amazing fans and I hope that they will be able to support us live! This would be an additional motivation to play the best we can.

City | Katowice

Katowice is a fairly young, a little over 155 years old city in southern Poland. It is one of the biggest business centres in the country, the capital of the Silesian Voivodship, and since July 2017 it is the largest city of the Upper Silesia and Zagłębie Metropolis, inhabited by over 2 million people. It is home to renowned academic, medical and cultural institutions. The hallmark of Katowice is the Spodek arena which hosted many international music and sport stars and looks like a flying saucer.

Katowice used to be the leader in coal mine extraction but today it is recognised for its cultural and business events. A wide range of hotels, state-of-the-art conference halls and the perfect access attract various organizers, who find the best venues in the centre of the agglomeration. The festivals and cyclical events include regional and international projects. Music lovers and theatre fans visit the city every year to get to know the current trends, listen to world stars and feel the unique atmosphere. The Silesian Jazz Festival, Rawa Blues Festival, Off Festival or Tauron Nowa Muzyka have become staple events in the music calendar while the A PART International Theatre Festival, the International Summer Theatre Garden and the Festival of Directing Art are significant events for the theatre community.

City | Kraków

Kraków – the capital of Polish culture, a city full of valuable monuments and unique collections. More than forty years ago it was inscribed on the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage List – today, it is an important European metropolis, which not only creatively presents its thousand-year-old heritage, but is also able to combine it with the spirit of modernness, openness to innovation, care for sustainable development and attention to the quality of life of its inhabitants.

Every year, the capital of Lesser Poland hosts more than 100 festivals and other cultural events – such as the Sacrum Profanum Festival, the Conrad Festival and the Kraków Film Festival – which have already developed into a world-class brand. Krakow participates in many international initiatives – it is a UNESCO's City of Literature, and is involved in the activities of the Network for Innovations in Culture and Creativity in Europe; in 2019, it was the organiser of the 15th World Congress of the Organization of World Heritage Cities (OWHC), and it was also the European Capital of Gastronomic Culture. The cultural life of the city is stimulated by well-thought-out investments – renewal of historical monuments, new museums, ICE Kraków Congress Centre or TAURON Arena Kraków.  In 2019, the former capital of Poland was visited by over 14 million tourists.

Innovation, education, ecology and sport

Krakow – an important academic centre – is also a city focused on the development of entrepreneurship and innovation, which attracts both large and small businesses: financial institutions, high-tech companies, looking for qualified staff, but also startups. Moreover, it is also a metropolis that implements numerous, often pioneering pro-environmental solutions in care for greenery and air – such as the coal furnace replacement programme, promotion of small scale water retention, the establishment of rain gardens, environmentally friendly public transport or construction and revitalisation of parks, including the creation of pocket parks, flower meadows and city apiaries.

As Kraków's development strategy intertwines culture, entrepreneurship, ecology and the strengthening of a social capital, the capital of Lesser Poland is nowadays willingly chosen as a place to live, educate and do business, as well as to organise cultural and sports events. For sports and recreation lovers, Kraków offers many opportunities for active leisure – thanks to investments such as new swimming pools, sports halls, pitches or outdoor gyms. The city also hosts numerous sports events of national and international rank, such as the Tour de Pologne and the Cracovia Marathon. In 2014, Kraków was chosen as the European City of Sport.
