Alex Haditaghi, the owner of Pogoń Szczecin, has revealed the main reason behind his decision to invest in this Ekstraklasa club. The owner admitted that before making his choice, he observed other Polish teams, but the chance to win the first trophy in Pogoń's history proved to be the decisive factor. The information was reported this week by the portal przegladsportowy.onet.pl.
Why did he choose Pogoń Szczecin specifically?
Alex Haditaghi does not hide that his decision was preceded by market analysis. He looked at other clubs in Poland, searching for the right project to fulfill his ambitions. The choice ultimately fell on Pogoń Szczecin, a club that since its foundation has never lifted any official trophy. This historical circumstance became his primary motivator. "Powód numer jeden" – said Haditaghi, describing the prospect of leading the club to its first success.
What challenge lies ahead for the new owner?
The mission is clear but not easy. Pogoń Szczecin has a long history without a Polish championship, Polish Cup, or Super Cup. Breaking this streak and winning even one cup would be a groundbreaking event for the entire region. Haditaghi is aware that this challenge requires time, strategic decisions, and building a competitive squad. The club is now preparing for its next league match, which will be at home against Śląsk Wrocław on November 21, 2026. The current squad and team statistics can be followed on our squad page.
