Kolejarz Opole vs Świętochłowice speedway match cancelled by rain

A Polish Krajowa Liga Żużlowej match scheduled for 5 July 2026 in Świętochłowice between home side Śląsk Świętochłowice and visiting Kolejarz Opole was called off after a track inspection showed the surface unsafe following heavy rain. Riders from both teams attempted a test run, but the wet track caused loss of traction and raised safety concerns. The referee, prioritising rider safety, ordered the cancellation and no new date has been set.

The match followed a recent encounter in Opole where Kolejarz won 53‑37. The cancellation postpones the teams' league fixtures and leaves the league schedule to be adjusted by the governing body.

The incident underscores how weather can disrupt speedway events, with officials emphasizing that the track must meet safety standards before competition can proceed.
