THE MANAGEMENT OF THE CLUB DID NOT EVEN SUBMIT A LICENCE APPLICATION.
The reason for the decision of the authorities of the club to not even submit an application for a license, are financial problems, before the previous season, from sponsoring the club withdrew Can-Pack company.
Now the question arises ” Who will help now that the sponsors of the club TS WISŁA KRAKÓW, but to appear in next year’s games of Energa Basket League Women? “
WILL THE WOMEN’S SECTION OF THE TS HANGING CRABS STILL BE PLAYING IN THE LEAGUE?
It’s amazing that in such a big city as Krakow, there should be no female basketball and Messianic basketball in the EBLK and EBL Ekstraklasa. How is it possible that such a big city has a reputable club like TS Wisła Kraków had so many victories because it was 25 times Polish Champion and 11 times vice-champion (9 times they took 3rd place). In addition, the team from Krakow could enjoy 13 Polish Cups and two Super Cups, and in 2010 played in the Final Four of the Euroleague (in the years 2011 and 2016 dropped the round earlier, in the quarter-final). He did not have a big sponsor or a male team that plays in the second league, and could also play in the league. As we remember, the good times from October 15, 2003, 6th place I played until 2005, where it took 7th place, and it seemed that there will be no men’s basketball in Krakow. However, another lucky coincidence, which undoubtedly turned out to be the possibility of buying a wild card in PLK, gave the team from Cracow a chance to play at the highest level. Whether these teams from Krakow will still be seen in the EBL league, EBLK .Klub TS Wisła Krakow must fight for these sections from Krakow to play at the highest level of the league.
It turned out that TS Wisła Kraków had an overestimated budget last season, and in addition, it had to pay the former player Dominika Owczarzak nearly a hundred thousand zlotys in arrears after she lost in the trial before the Basketball Arbitration Tribunal.
The White Star will start the games in the First League, but she will only play with juniors in these competitions. The club is also left with a hundred thousand zlotys in debt for last season.
“The President of TS Wisła, Rafał Wisłocki, adds: – We were very close to signing a large contract. Unfortunately, at this point the potential sponsor did not decide to support basketball in Wisła right now. But we are taking action in other directions. For a while the club even resigned from hiring a general manager of the team. Until the end of June this function was held by Łukasz Kwaśniewski. – He resigned himself ” . – The interview was given to Dziennik Polski
” The former captain of TS Wisła Kraków ensures that TS activists are aware of the seriousness of the situation in which the basketball section finds itself. – We are not lying, to put it bluntly, but we are constantly looking for these additional sponsors. However, it is not easy in a relatively short time,” he admits. – I personally cannot imagine a team with basketball traditions dating back to 1928,
We decided not to apply for a license to play in the league. We applied for the first league in order to maintain the tradition of female basketball in Krakow,” said Dorota Gburczyk-Sikora, former Wisła basketball player, today vice-president of the Sports Association “Wisła” – The interview was given to Dziennik Polski
