Hostility toward Ukrainian athletes in Poland

Overview

Ukrainian volleyball player Vasyl Tupchiy has reported rising hostility toward Ukrainians in Poland following the merger of the Jastrzębski Węgiel club with the Ukrainian side Barkom-Każany Lwów to form Jastrzębie Barkom.

Tupchiy cited instances of nationality-based mistreatment, including physical vandalism such as damaged vehicles and offensive messages telling Ukrainians to ‘go home’ or ‘go back to Ukraine’. He also noted that a club fan zone director expressed a lack of support for the team because it is no longer exclusively a Polish club.

Due to this environment of verbal hostility and discrimination, the 34-year-old athlete has indicated that the current season may be his last in Poland.
