Lech Poznań is preparing for the new season, in which it will fight for the Polish Super Cup and the Champions League qualifiers. However, before the stakes begin, the Polish champions can test themselves against a very strong rival. Talks are ongoing regarding a friendly match against FC Porto.
Lech Poznań is planning an attractive sparring match
“Kolejorz” will play the first official match of the new season on July 16 or 17. Lech’s rival in the Polish Super Cup will be Górnik Zabrze. Before that, the Poznań team will undergo a preparation period, which may be enriched with a meeting with the Portuguese champion.
The match against FC Porto at Bułgarska Street would be a big event for the fans. In recent years, Lech has rarely organized friendly matches with such recognizable European clubs, so such a rival could attract a lot of interest.
FC Porto as a test before Europe
For Lech’s training staff, the clash with Porto would be a valuable test before the Champions League qualifiers. The Portuguese club presents a level that would allow you to quickly verify the team’s form, organization of the game and readiness to compete with strong opponents.
The arrival of the “Dragons” in Poznań is not yet certain. Talks are ongoing and the details need to be worked out. However, the idea itself shows that Lech wants to prepare for the season in the most ambitious way possible.
Polish threads in Porto
A potential meeting would have an additional flavor, because Porto features three Poles: Jan Bednarek, Jakub Kiwior and Oskar Pietuszewski. Bednarek’s return to the stadium at Bułgarska Street would be particularly interesting, because the defender is a student of Lech and was associated with the club until 2017.
Bednarek is scheduled to appear in Poznań during the season-ending match between Lech and Wisła Płock. A possible sparring with Porto could be an even stronger return for him to the place where he started his senior career.
Bułgarska can host a famous club again
In the past, Lech was able to bring recognizable rivals to Poznań. Among others, Borussia Dortmund and Rosenborg Trondheim played at Bułgarska. A friendly match against Porto would be a reference to those times and an attractive opening of summer preparations.
For now, fans must wait for organizational decisions. If the talks are successful, Lech will gain not only a strong sports test, but also an event that may warm up Poznań even before the season starts.
