Lechia Gdansk refuses to accept its relegation from Ekstraklasa. The club from Tricity hopes to stay in the league, despite finishing 16th in the table. Lechia Gdansk started the 2025/26 season with five negative points, which was the result of a penalty imposed for previous financial debts. The team led by John Carver won 43 points on the pitch, which would have been enough for survival. However, the table counted 38 points. President Paolo Urfer issued a statement, which included that the PZPN undermines the integrity and certainty of Ekstraklasa results, refusing to agree to a quick resolution of this matter in Lausanne. Lechia Gdansk did not grant Wieczysta a power of attorney that would authorize participation in the Ekstraklasa SA general meeting. According to tradition, the relegated team hands over the appropriate power of attorney to the newcomer. This did not happen, so this time 17, not 18 clubs participated in the meeting. Mateusz Miga reported that Lechia Gdansk did not grant Wieczysta a power of attorney. And Lechia Gdansk hopes that it will be able to stay in Ekstraklasa. But the club must still wait for the resolution of this matter. So Lechia Gdansk is waiting for the PZPN's decision. Lechia Gdansk is ready to fight for its rights. The club from Tricity has the support of its fans, who believe in staying in the league.
