Alert at Okęcie! The plane carrying Legia Warszawa players has been suspended

Thus, the plane, among others, with Legia Warszawa players to Sweden, which was supposed to leave at 10:00, did not start. The capital team is scheduled to play against Swedish Djurgardens on Thursday.

As Mateusz Ligęza from Radio Zet reported, the cause of the confusion was a dangerous item found in the hand luggage of one of the people. For this reason, a partial evacuation of the baggage inspection area was ordered, the journalist wrote on the X website.

Initially, there was no information about when the situation would return to normal and the team would be able to set off for the cup match in Sweden.

Alert at Okęcie. The situation at the airport has been clarified

Fortunately, the nervous waiting time is over, and as reported, the situation in Okęcie has returned to normal. The dangerous item in the luggage mentioned by the Radio Zet journalist did not turn out to be such a serious threat.

Ultimately, the Warsaw team set off for Sweden with over an hour’s delay. The most important thing, however, is that the initially tense situation turned out to be, in the end, not a very dangerous event.

The Warsaw club posted a short recording, additionally reassuring its fans that the team had actually moved to Sweden.

It is worth recalling that Legia will fight for direct promotion to the 1/8 finals of the UEFA Conference League. The Warsaw team, just like Jagiellonia Białystok – the second Polish team in this competition – looks very good in the international arena this autumn.

The Warsaw team will play away against Swedish Djurgardens, while Jagiellonia will host Olimpija Ljubljana at home. In the Conference League table, Legia is fifth, and the Polish champions from Białystok are eighth. Both matches will start on Thursday (December 19) at 9:00 p.m. and will be shown on Polsat Sport.
