GKS Katowice returns to Europe after 23 years, marking a significant achievement for the club. Coach Rafał Górak has six weeks to prepare the team for the upcoming season. The squad will be without goalkeeper Rafał Strączek, who will be sidelined for four months after shoulder surgery. The club is in advanced talks to bring in Marcel Łubik, who has been on loan to Górnik Zabrze from the German club FC Augsburg. New midfielders, including Bartosz Wolski from Motor Lublin and Szymon Bartlewicz from Chrobry Głogów, have joined the team, strengthening their lineup.

GKS Katowice plans to play six friendly matches before the season starts, including games against tough opponents such as Świt Szczecin, Arka Gdynia, and Raków Częstochowa. Bartosz Wolski emphasized the stability of the Katowice sports project, which could yield positive results in the upcoming competitions. The first match in the Conference League qualifiers is scheduled for July 23, and the team will face newly promoted Wisła Kraków in the opening round of the domestic league.

The management of GKS Katowice believes in the success of this experienced group of players, who finished fifth in the league last season. Coach Górak is optimistic about the preparations, highlighting that the team is cohesive and ready for the challenges ahead. GKS Katowice has an exciting season ahead, filled with hopes for further successes in the Ekstraklasa and on the European stage.
