The record is officially broken! This is what Polish volleyball has such a strength
As the organizers of the Tauron of the Polish Volleyball Cup said, in the Sunday finale the attendance record in the stands was broken. About 15,000 fans appeared at the match!
It is worth recalling that the previous record is 2024, also on the occasion of the grand finale of the Tauron of the Polish Cup. Then exactly 13,935 viewers appeared in the stands! This time, however, volleyball fans decided to turn up this number, completing the largest facility of this type in Poland.
TAURON Polish Cup: Turnout record beaten! A great result in Krakow
Interestingly, just like a year ago, in the game for the second largest trophy in national volleyball, the same bands stood. I am talking about JSW Jastrzębski Węgiel and Aluronie CMC Warta Zawiercie. It should be emphasized that despite the fact that Bogdanka Luk Lublin and PGE Projekt Warszawa dropped out on Saturday, on Sunday fans of these clubs also decided to take part in the Krakow final. Which, moreover, emphasized the leader of the whole event as an announcer, Polsat Sport journalist Marek Magiera.
What do record numbers look like? It is about 15,000 in the stands (the official number was not given during the match). It is certainly known that nearly 30,000 volleyball fans appeared during the weekend in Tauron Arena. What only shows how much potential this discipline in Poland has.
It is also worth adding record numbers related to PlusLiga itself when it comes to the basic phase. In total, over 583 thousand viewers have already appeared in the stands in all halls. And this is also a record achievement in the history of the professional league in Poland.
UPDATE: Kamil Składowski from PLS announced that the official number of fans at the final is 14157 people.
ZAKSA Kędzierzyn-Koźle with a record. Who will win PP in 2025?
Looking at the story, the most triumphs in the struggles played since 1932-regularly appearing since the 1980/81 edition (with a one-year break due to the Covid-19 pandemic)-ten times were won by volleyballers from Kędzierzyn-Koźle. Until the past year (i.e. 2024) Zaksa had a great series of five wins (and four in a row) in six editions from the 2018/19 season.
In total, ZAKSA has 13 medals in their achievements, ten zlotys and three silver. On the podium of the medal classification of the PP of all time are additionally: the second AZS Olsztyn (seven zlotys, five silver) and Skra Bełchatów (seven zlotys, three silver).
Interestingly, the top ten will also have a place for the Krakow club. It is a steelwife in Kraków, winning three times. Currently, fans in Tauron Arena will not find the “host”, and in the case of Krakow triumphs, we are talking about old times. Hutnik volleyballers won in 1974 (still as Hutnik Nowa Huta), 1988 and 1990.
