For the past two weeks Cracovia players have been in Belek, Turkey, enjoying the warm weather and training hard ahead of the second part of the 2017-18 season. The training camp has now come to an end and today Pasy are heading back home to Cracow.

Cracovia got their mid-season preparations underway on January 8. For two weeks they have trained in Cracow, before heading off to Turkey for two-week-long training camp.

This winter Pasy played eight friendly games, four of them during their time in Cracow - more info [HERE].

The Turkey camp also included four games. We met with Akademija Pandev from Macedonia, a Russian side Krylia Sovetov Samara and two Serbian teams - Mladost Lucani and Spartak Subotica. Spoils were shared between Cracovia and Mladost Lucani and Pasy clinched victory in the three remaining games! Here are the scores:

The second part of the 2017-18 Ekstraklasa campaign gets underway on Friday, January 9 and Cracovias first fixture is against Śląsk Wrocław on Saturday, January 10.

We are looking to improve on our 12-placed position in the Ekstraklasa table. Right now we have 22 points from 21 autumn games being nine points shy of where we want to be - and that is top 8. Now we have nine games ahead of us in the regular season and we need to be ready from the very beginning!
