Unlike the previous arena, "Hutnik," this stadium has seen victories of its team in the championship and Polish Cup (in each competition — twice). Now "Polonia" plays in the Second League — third in strength division, having won promotion to a higher league last season.

After a run and physical exercises from fitness coach Ivan Bashthov, the footballers moved to the square where passes were made in one touch. This exercise added positive emotions, which is always important before intensive work. The main part of the training was devoted to working on game schemes and tactical variants. The boys reinforced their practice through playing series.

Tomorrow blue-and-yellow will continue their gathering in Poland's capital.
