Arka Gdynia will host Ruch Chorzów on Thursday, August 22 at 7 p.m. The match of the 6th round of the Betclic 1st League has a high-risk status. Five hundred fans are expected in the visiting sector. However, players from both teams should enter the pitch with a similar alert if they do not want to settle in the middle of the table for good. The guests, this year’s relegated from the Ekstraklasa, have not won in four matches, and the yellow-blues have only taken a point from their last two appearances. In the corridors of the match, the transaction of exchanging Hubert Adamczyk for Filip Kocaba from Zagłębie Lubin is to be finalized.

High-risk match
This will be the 30th official match between Arka Gdynia and Ruch Chorzów. The yellow-blues have won 10 of them, suffered 12 defeats and have an unfavorable goal difference of 29:36. The fans of both teams do not like each other. Therefore, the match has a high-risk status.
Arka Gdynia has one less shareholder. Coach still counts on transfer
The guests are to be supported on Olimpijska Street by around five hundred fans. Arka is also trying to encourage a large crowd to come to the stands. That is why a promotion has been introduced for those who buy single tickets. If someone buys tickets for Ruch and the Sunday match with Górnik Łęczna (25 August, 5 p.m.), they will pay 20 percent less for the second ticket.
Pre-match restrictions
Małokacka Street will be closed to traffic two hours before the match. Cars can be parked along it. Drivers are also advised to park at the Riviera Shopping Center. The stadium will be open to fans 90 minutes before the match.
The Polish Cup 2024/25 has been drawn. In the 1st round, Arka Gdynia will play in Stalowa Wola and Lechia Gdańsk in Grodzisk Mazowiecki.
Tickets will be sold at the stadium ticket offices from 10:00 (ticket office no. 2) and from 15:00 (ticket offices no. 3 and 5).
Both Arka Gdynia and Ruch Chorzów need points
It’s true that this is only the 6th round, but both teams must be careful not to “bury” themselves in the middle of the table for good. Arka is currently 7-8 points behind the first two places, because they have only drawn their last two matches.
Arka Gdynia passed the character test. The coach named the best player in the league
Ruch’s loss, on the other hand, is 2 points greater. This year’s relegated team from the Ekstraklasa won only in the opening match – 2:0 in Opole – and in the last four matches they drew three times and lost once. The only positive thing they can count is the division of points in Nieciecza (1:1), because they are the only team that “took” points from the current leader – Bruk-Bet Termalica.
Mateusz Szowch for Filip Starzyński
Ruch will play in Gdynia without its game director – Filip Starzyński, suspended after a red card. He will be replaced by a player well-known in Arka, as he was a junior Polish champion with the team.

– Mateusz Szwoch will probably replace “Figo”. Ruch has its offensive qualities, it is repeatable in play. So the team of coach Janusz Niedźwiedź, despite this personnel change, will present a similar style as in previous matches – assesses Wojciech Łobodziński.
What about Marc Navarro’s ribs?
Before the last match in Krakow, the Arka coach made four changes to the “11”. Only one of them was forced by health reasons.
Arka Gdynia has a player who wants to play like Sergio Ramos. He used his 5 minutes
– Marc had a slight fracture of two ribs. As a footballer, I have played with such an injury before. Now, the doctors did not give permission. We will see what they say before Ruch – revealed the coach of the yellow and blues, who sent Przemysław Stolec to the right defense, and in the second half he replaced him with Kasjan Lipkowski.
Is this the squad for three games in six days?
In Krakow, Martin Dobrotka played his first match this season in the center of defense, while Hide Vitalucci and Jakub Staniszewski appeared in the center of the second line. Is this supposed to be an “11” that will also withstand the strain associated with matches with Ruch and Górnik?
Hide Vitalucci on his impressions of playing in Arka Gdynia and Lechia Gdańsk and… pierogi
– I am convinced that the changes we made in Krakow will pay off in the future. We are at the beginning of the season and these are young players. I will monitor fatigue factors, but I am more afraid of injuries than that. Our intensity in the game is good. The parameters show that we are making progress in sprints and accelerations. The downside is individual defense. This needs to be improved. We also trained in blocking shots. In Krakow, in the second half, there were moments when the game looked like what I would like to see – summed up Wojciech Łobodziński.
Filip Kocaba for Hubert Adamczyk. Exchange between Zagłębie Lubin and Arka Gdynia
Filip Kocaba is 19 years old, a defensive midfielder, and has played 2 matches for the Polish U-19 national team. His contract with Zagłębie Lubin is until June 30, 2027. Let us recall that in this position at Olimpijska Street, the following youngsters play: Jakub Staniszewski and Wojciech Zieliński, as well as Michał Borecki. In reserve is Janusz Gol, who is undergoing rehabilitation.
Arka Gdynia is waiting for Hubert Adamczyk’s decision. He could have gone to the World Cup, will he leave?
In exchange for him, Arka Gdynia is offering offensive midfielder Hubert Adamczyk, who has not had a place in the playing 20 since the 2nd round, and his contract with the yellow-blues is valid only until the end of the current season.
