Low Stadium Attendance

Despite the recent opening of the modern Itaka Arena, Odra Opole's first league game saw only about half the stadium filled (5642 out of 11,500 seats). While a higher attendance is expected for the upcoming game against Wisła Kraków, concerns remain about future attendance for less popular opponents.

Financial Issues and Lack of Transparency

The article highlights concerns over the club's financial management, particularly the case of Mato Milos, a newly signed player who cannot play due to a missed registration deadline despite a signed contract. This situation, coupled with a lack of official communication from the club and its leadership, raises questions about the club's transparency, especially considering its significant reliance on city funds.

Criticism and Response

The club's response to criticism has been defensive, even targeting local journalists. This approach is criticized for failing to address the concerns of fans and taxpayers whose funds support the club. The article emphasizes the club's obligation to provide answers and transparency given their public funding.
