ITI Holdings buys Legia Warszawa football club

In December, ITI signed a preliminary agreement to purchase the stake from Pol-Mot Holding tied to several conditions, one of them being the clarification of the club's rights to its stadium, which is owned by the Warsaw city council. This was resolved last Wednesday, with the council granting the club a three-year lease, with the possibility of an extension, as well as zł.14 million to renovate it and prepare plans for building a new, national stadium on Legia's grounds. The team celebrated the change of ownership in spectacular fashion, beating local rival Polonia Warszawa 7:2 on Friday, with Marek Saganowski scoring a hat-trick in the first half.
