Arguments over land plague Wisła Football Club development plans

Tele-Fonika, owner of the Kraków-based Wisła Football Club, announced plans to build a new soccer stadium, an investment worth zł. 42 million. "We have a project for the new facility, and we have the money to carry it out. We still do not know where the new stadium will be built. However, members of the Wisła Kraków Sports Association do not want to agree to transfer the ownership of the land to our company," said Jerzy Jurczyński, Tele-Fonika's spokesman. According to company representatives, the best alternative would be to renovate the current stadium. Tele-Fonika hopes to execute the proposition of the Treasury Ministry and swap the grounds owned by the club for those owned by the former cable producer in Ożarów Mazowiecki, the book value of which is zł. 80 million. If that does not happen the company will have to look for a different location. (Puls Biznesu, p. 13) A.K.
