Pogoń Szczecin wins court case against Holewiński The Polish Football Association's Arbitration Court ruled against Axel Holewiński, a Pogoń Szczecin youth product. The goalkeeper failed to terminate his contract with the „Portowcy”. Club owner Alex Haditaghi spoke out on the matter. On July 21, 2026, the Polish Football Association's Arbitration Court dismissed in full the claim of player Axel Holewiński against Pogoń Szczecin S.A. for contract termination. The court found no grounds to terminate the contract due to the club's fault. ## What happened? Axel Holewiński, a 20-year-old goalkeeper, was loaned to Polonia Bytom for the 2024/25 season. After an impressive first half of the season, in which the newcomer was promoted to the Betclic 1. Liga, Pogoń cut short the loan. Holewiński played in 19 matches and kept seven clean sheets. In the 2025/26 season, the goalkeeper ended up in Pogoń's reserves, which were relegated from the Betclic 3. Liga. He only played in three matches. In March 2026, he filed a request to terminate the contract due to the club's fault or without a ruling on fault. ## Why it matters for Pogoń Szczecin The court's ruling means that Holewiński will remain a Pogoń player until June 30, 2027. For the club, this is confirmation of contractual stability and the correctness of its actions. Currently sidelined: Rajmund Molnár. ## What's next? Alex Haditaghi, owner of Pogoń, criticized the club's critics. „To all self-proclaimed legal experts, keyboard prosecutors, wannabe journalists and loudmouths who have been attacking us for months: yesterday must have been a very disappointing and sad day for you. Facts won. The law won.” Haditaghi added that clubs rarely ruin the careers of young players, and the problem is often greedy parents, reckless advisors and bad agents.
