Legia Warszawa has received official permission to host mass events without visiting fans until December 31, 2026. The club maintains that the closure is necessary due to required renovations in the away sector and ongoing land lease issues. To support this decision, Legia provided documentation to Ekstraklasa SA, including correspondence from the Warsaw Greenery Board and a positive opinion from the local police command. While the league acknowledged the administrative permits, it expressed dissatisfaction with Legia’s handling of the situation and will request that the Polish Football Association (PZPN) analyze the matter for compliance with licensing regulations. This development follows earlier scrutiny when the Warsaw Regional Police and the Warsaw City Greenery Board clarified they had not demanded the sector be closed. PZPN had also previously noted that the away sector met all current infrastructure requirements and questioned the timing of the announcement. Jarosław Królewski, the owner of Wisła Kraków, has challenged the decision, suggesting the renovation serves as a pretext to exclude Kraków fans. He has formally requested that the Warsaw Police transparently publish the specific police opinions used to grant the permit. Following these developments, the PZPN Club Licensing Commission has penalized Legia, imposing a fine of 250,000 PLN for every home match played without visiting supporters. The commission characterized the move as an “arbitrary temporary exclusion of the sector.” Legia President Marcin Herra defended the club, stating that all legal procedures for organizing mass events were followed and that modernization work, including the installation of a new Fan Service Point, has already commenced. ~~During~~ Tensions escalated during a recent ~~Ekstraklasa~~ match against Wisła Kraków, ~~tensions escalated as~~ where approximately 1,500 Wisła supporters were unable to enter the ~~stadium due to~~ stadium.
