The year 2022 is to be a great holiday. For now, for the club’s centenary, the players who scored just eight points in six rounds in the new year and fell to third place in the league table, are not up to the task. Therefore, in the “birthday” match against Jagiellonia Białystok (Saturday, 20:00) the team cannot afford to stumble, as long as it does not want to lose distance to the most dangerous rivals – Raków Częstochowa and Pogoń Szczecin.
Record attendance for the birthday in Poznań. The players will play in retro costumes
According to the club from Poznań, the Saturday game will be watched by a complete set of over 40,000 fans. It will also be a record this season in the entire league. Previously, he also belonged to Lech, but there were only 28,808 fans in the October game against (4: 0).
It will also be interesting on the turf itself. Lech Poznań players are to play in special occasional retro t-shirts.
“The players will run onto the pitch in retro costumes, which were prepared especially for the occasion. They allude to two important events in the club’s history. The jersey refers to a return to exactly half a century ago, when the interest in blue-and-whites was enormous, because the stadium was often visited by 60 thousand fans, and also until the first Polish championship (1983) – then the Lechites had, once in their history, a large inscription LECH on their chest “- explains Lech’s official website.
The guests don’t want to be worse. A large trip of fans and “unused” costumes
On Saturday’s celebration in Poznań, guests from Białystok also intend to join in. Over a thousand fans intend to appear in the capital of Greater Poland, going to the match by a special train. In addition, the club has prepared for this meeting, which will also provide its team with retro-style outfits.
It is not, of course, that these outfits were created for this match – they were to be part of the celebration of the centenary of Jagiellonia in 2020, which, however, was canceled due to the onset of the coronavirus epidemic. However, these t-shirts will finally be able to be used.
Saturday’s match of the 26th round of the league Lech Poznań – Jagiellonia Białystok will start at 20:00.
