Despite the municipal funding, the club plans to disband its women’s football section. Wrocław Vice President Renata Granowska announced the move, according to Gazeta Wrocławka. The team, which finished fifth in last year’s Ekstraliga, may be relocated to Ślęża. The eight-time Polish champions are protesting the decision. “Don’t take away our history,” read a banner displayed at their most recent match, and players have also posted appeals on social media.
Agnieszka Chylińska Reacts to the Decision Regarding Śląsk Wrocław
The situation has sparked outrage from singer Agnieszka Chylińska, a known football enthusiast who regularly attends matches.
“My Dear Friends, those who recognize me well know that besides music, I am interested in domestic sports, especially football and handball. Today, I want to support the women footballers of Śląsk Wrocław. This isn’t about favoring any particular sports club in Poland. I want to strongly protest against the intentions and attempts to destroy Polish women’s football. Girls, don’t give up,” the singer wrote on Instagram.
