Winter break schedule

There are still two league matches to go before the winter break officially commences, however, we have already been informed about Lech’s training schedule for the beginning of the year. A day after the last league match of 2019 against Arka Gdynia (19.12, 8:30 pm), the squad will begin their holidays which will last until January 9th. For the following 10 days, Lech’s senior team is going to train at home.

On January 19th, the squad will travel to Belek (Turkey) where the training camp is going to take place. During their mid-season preparations, Lech is going to compete in 4 friendly games, all whilst staying and training in Bellis Deluxe Hotel. The Polish side is going to face SKN St. Polten (Austria), Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukraine), NK Maribor (Slovenia), and FK Vozdovac (Serbia). The last two training games are scheduled for the same day. A year ago, Lech also played against the Serbian squad – the friendly game ended with a 1:0 win for Vozdovac.

On January 29th, the squad is going to return to Poznan with over a week left to prepare for the spring league round. Their first Ekstraklasa opponent of 2020 is going to be Rakow Czestochowa. The coaching staff doesn’t deny the possibility of playing an extra friendly game in Poland before the league matches commence. However, that will depend on Ekstraklasa schedule which hasn’t been announced yet.
