Ruch Chorzow Returns to Silesian Stadium and Betclic Honors Club Legend

Jul. 03, 2024

This last season, Ruch Chorzów, one of the greatest Polish football clubs in history, lived a special moment. The Blues returned to Chorzow, and to a true symbol of Polish football the Silesian Stadium. For occasion, Betclic, the club's Strategic Sponsor, has prepared a unique film featuring the famous "Mrs. Renia".

Renata Kubiak, or rather the afore mentioned "Mrs. Renia", is a legend of the Chorzów club, who tirelessly served and looked after the team for 30 years. She started working at the Chorzów club on July 28, 1993. For three decades, she performed a number of duties at the Chorzów club: from washing jerseys to preparing the pitches for play. Since 2000, she has been an integral part of the team, meticulously taking care of the players' match kit. Over the years of hard work, she has earned great respect and sympathy from the players, training staff and people associated with Ruch. Today, although she cannot attend all matches due to her health, she is still with the team with her heart.

Mrs. Renia with a smile on her face said:

"Ruch is my love and family. In recent years, I have been at the club more often than at home. I have many memories with the club, both good and bad. I have seen many: moments of success and the greatest defeats. I witnessed how we won the Polish Cup and how we lost the final of the Intertoto Cup. Recent years have been a very demanding time for the club (relegation to the third league and return to the highest league), but in my mind's eye I can see our boys winning the title again and representing our country in Europe with Silesian pride."

 

To celebrate the return to Chorzów, the club's main sponsor - the Betclic brand - prepared a unique spot in cooperation with Ruch, in which the main character is Mrs. Renia. In the humorous film, she turns into an inspector who checks whether the Silesian Stadium is ready to welcome her boys. She checks whether the pitch is ready for the match, whether the seats at the stadium are comfortable enough and whether the locker room is in proper order.
