Pogoń Szczecin faces serious financial trouble. The club, which recently drew 1-1 with GKS Katowice (2026-05-23), risks losing city funding due to unpaid taxes and rent. Szczecin authorities warn that without settling debts, Pogoń won't receive 6-7 million PLN in support.

What are Pogoń Szczecin's outstanding debts?

The club owes 733k PLN for renting Edward Szczepański Municipal Stadium. Additionally, it hasn't paid any property tax this year. According to city representative Dariusz Sadowski, payment notices are sent monthly but remain unanswered.

Why does this matter for the club?

Pogoń Szczecin is the main beneficiary of Szczecin's Professional Sports Support Program. In previous years, the club received 6-7 million PLN from the city. However, this year it may lose this support due to debts. This would be a serious blow to the club's budget, which recently ended the season with a 2W-2D-1L (DDWWL) record.

What does the club say?

Pogoń Szczecin emphasizes that since Alex Haditaghi took over, it has repaid over 90 million PLN in debts. General director Tan Kesler notes that without these repayments, the club could have gone bankrupt. However, current payment issues may threaten financial stability.

What's next?

The club must settle its debts as soon as possible to receive city funding. Otherwise, Pogoń Szczecin may face serious financial difficulties. In the near future, the team will face Cracovia away.
