20 years of friendship: Magdeburg celebrates with a fan campaign in Krakow!
The friendship between the Polish club Hutnik Krakow and the German 1. FC Magdeburg has existed for 20 years and was recently celebrated with an impressive campaign. At their home game against Zaglebie Sosnowiec, fans of both teams celebrated the long-standing relationship that has spread over 700 kilometers. Fascination fan curve reported that 57 Magdeburg fans were present in Krakow, some of whom had already arrived on Friday.
In the Suche Stawy stadium there were various visual activities during the game that illustrated the friendship between the two fan groups. The final duel between Hutnik and local rivals Wisla Krakow is also coming up. On Wednesday, Hutnik will face Wisla at Puchar Polski, and the current situation of Wisla fans could lead to an empty away block.
A look at the rivalry
The rivalry between Hutnik and the local Wisla section is deep-rooted and ensures that anticipation for the next derby is particularly high. The last meeting was many years ago. In addition to the ongoing friendship with the Magdeburgers, which was particularly strengthened by a test match in Opole last March, there is another connection with GKS Belchatow, with whom we have been friends for around seven years.
There are numerous other friendships between German and Polish fan groups that show how football brings people together across national borders. For example, fans of Energie Cottbus and Beskid Andrychow as well as Borussia Dortmund and Ruch Chorzow have also developed a close relationship. Interestingly, a previous friendship between GKS Katowice and Dynamo Dresden did not last long.
In summary, it can be said that not only the passion for football, but above all the friendships and mutual support in the spirit of sport are still very popular today. The fans' actions and visits are evidence of a lively fan community that extends far beyond the borders of their hometowns.
