Strategic Sponsor - TEXOM - presented!

After the official presentation of our new Strategic Sponsor - TEXOM - a press briefing was held, during which the Company's President Krystian Woś and Wisła Kraków helmsman Jarosław Królewski answered journalists' questions.

"2021 is the year we established our partnership with Wisła Kraków. We've now entered our third consecutive year of cooperation. I sincerely believe that our support will allow us to celebrate promotion to the Ekstraklasa this year. I also wish the fans, Mr. President, that they will also achieve the greatest possible success in the cups we eagerly await. I believe that with TEXOM's support, this will simply happen," began TEXOM President Krystian Woś. "We want Wisła Kraków to return to its place, and Wisła Kraków's place is the Ekstraklasa. This is why we have increased our support," he assured.

When asked if the collaboration will also cover other projects, such as those related to youth training, "Just like ORLEN OIL, we will participate in various initiatives and support the Academy. We will do exactly the same thing in this regard that ORLEN OIL did," he added.

Journalists asked if Krystian Woś would like to acquire some shares in Wisła Kraków. "We haven't considered it yet, but it's possible that will change in the future," he said.

"Wisła Kraków can afford a lot when it comes to its jersey, but it can also afford to choose partners with whom it wants to collaborate and feels a certain chemistry. We have a great history with TEXOM, but we also want to build on that at Wisła Kraków, meaning we want to do what our partner does. We are starting the next stage in Wisła Kraków's history with TEXOM at the forefront of our jersey. A very responsible and unique place. We hope that this cup adventure, as well as our long-term goal, promotion to the Ekstraklasa, will be a moment when, just as we won the Polish Cup together, we will now celebrate promotion to the Ekstraklasa together," the President began. "I think, first and foremost, that the Wisła Kraków jersey will be worth a similar amount as last season. Perhaps it will even be a plus. I'd like to emphasize one important thing, because in moments like these, it's crucial. TEXOM is on the jersey because they won this battle with other sponsors. I'm even more glad that it just happened," he added.

Currently, no other sponsor appears under the TEXOM logo, but the club is open to developing its own space. "Our agreement is structured in such a way that, similarly to previous large agreements, we have a tradition of inviting a representative of such a company to join our Supervisory Board. Krystian Woś will therefore serve on the Supervisory Board of Wisła Kraków. Being on the Supervisory Board of such a large club means that we collectively look after the club's interests first and foremost. Therefore, Krystian and TEXOM are open to having another sponsor appear under the TEXOM logo on the jersey. Wisła is a strong enough brand today that it can afford to carefully select these Partners. We shouldn't just choose the first sponsor that comes along to fill this space. What's important to us is that we have an agreement under which we can jointly decide who the next jersey sponsor will be. I think we can expect something more during the season," he continued.

This isn't the end of Wisła Kraków's business extensions. The names of the companies that will continue to support the club will be revealed this week. "Speaking of extensions, there may be a few more. As for this week, there will be one new sponsor and a second company that has previously worked with Wisła Kraków but didn't have the rank of sponsor," he noted.
