Ekstraklasa proposed match schedule changes face fan backlash
Marcin Animucki, president of Ekstraklasa S.A., has announced a potential shift in the Polish top-flight football league's schedule. The proposal includes introducing a Sunday 20:00 match slot, a move intended to optimize television viewership following successful testing.
However, the announcement has met with significant opposition from fans. Critics on social media have labeled the timing as “scandalous” and a “nightmare idea,” arguing that the late Sunday slot prioritizes television audiences at the expense of supporters traveling to stadiums, particularly those coming from outside their local cities.
