#FIRST DIVISION

In Polish Football Association's head office there was a draw of the 1/16 Polish Cup's final. In this round participate teams from the Ekstraklasa. Legia goes to Gorzów Wielkopolski on 22nd September. Team from Warsaw will have to compete with local GKP. This will be the first official match of both teams. GKP is in the First Division at the moment. With 10 points it occupies the third position in the league table.

Licence Appeals Board is going to reargue ŁKS's case concerning its licence motion. The Board also emphasized that the Federal Football Tribunal's decision concerning Widzew Łódź was binding and feasible. This means that Widzew is going to start the season in the First Division again, and Korona Kielce which was the third in the First Division after last season promotes directly to the Ekstraklasa.

After one-year break teams from Lubin and Łódź return to the Ekstraklasa. Zagłębie promoted to the higher division thanks to the victory 4-0 over Korona Kielce on Friday. Widzew defeated Znicz Pruszków on Sunday and also returns to the Ekstraklasa. There are still four clubs (Podbeskidzie Bielsko-Biała, Korona Kielce, Znicz Pruszków and Flota Świnoujście) which fight for the promotion to the Ekstraklasa. Team which is going to be the third in the First Division (I liga), is going to take part in playoffs with the 14th club of the Ekstraklasa.

According to the announcement of the Polish Football Association (PZPN) there are not going to be any playoffs with the beginning of the season 2009/2010. It means that after next season two clubs will be relegated from the Ekstraklasa to the First Division and four clubs will be relegated from the First Division to the Second Division. Currently (if we talk about the Ekstraklasa), two worst teams are relegated to the lower division directly and one has a chance to stay in the league if it wins playoffs with the third team from the First Division.
