Town of 750 citizens will have club in premier league
09:28
Football club Termalica Bruk-Bet Nieciecza won 2:0 against Pogoń Siedlce in the 33rd round of the 1st liga and secured promotion to Ekstraklasa, Poland's primary football competition. For the fist time in history, a football club from a town with a population of 750 citizens will play in the Poland's premier league.
Coming from such a small town doesn't seem to intimidate the club's fans as one of their most popular chant goes: "We are from the countryside, but we are the best."
Although the club was established in 1922, it only began to succeed in recent years after cobble producer Termalica became its main sponsor.
As the Termalica's stadium doesn't fulfill the license requirements to host premier league games, the club will play its matches in Kraków, leasing the Hutnik's field.
