Korona Kielce kicked off an intensive training camp in Busko-Zdrój, where under coach Michał Kwiatkowski a squad of 28 players trains daily. It's the first gathering since the 1‑1 draw with Cracovia on 23 May 2026, offering a chance to gauge form before the season's final stretch.

Who took part in the camp?

The 28‑man roster includes seasoned leaders like Patryk Wolski and Kacper Szymczak, alongside academy prospects such as 19‑year‑old Mateusz Górski. Goalkeepers – Kacper Szymański, Michał Nowak; defenders – Łukasz Kaczmarek, Marcin Zieliński; midfielders – Jakub Lis, Filip Kowalczyk; attackers – Michał Bąk, Kamil Olszewski. The coach notes the mix of age and experience allows flexible tactical setups.

Why does the camp matter for the current league situation?

Korona sits 11th in the Ekstraklasa with 43 points after 34 games (11 wins, 10 draws, 13 losses). The last five results read 1‑3‑1 (DWLDD), offering no certainty but showing the side can fight for every point. Training in Busko‑Zdrój aims to tighten the defence – the team has both scored and conceded 40 goals this season. If players keep the pace, they could narrow the 17‑point gap to leaders Lech Poznań.

What can we expect in the upcoming matches?

After returning, the coach plans to test a 4‑2‑3‑1 formation, with Patryk Wolski as an attacking midfielder and Michał Bąk supported by Kamil Olszewski on the wings. The first post‑camp match is set for 15 July 2026 against Górnik Zabrze, the first chance to see if Busko work translates into results. Fans hope for a win that could break the string of draws and give a boost toward a higher table finish.

How do players feel about the Busko‑Zdrój conditions?

Players praise the modern pitch and tranquil atmosphere. Łukasz Kaczmarek said, “fresh air and lack of city noise help focus on technique.” Coach Kwiatkowski stresses daily tactical sessions and individual video analysis speed up the adoption of new ideas. Shared meals and team‑building outings also strengthen squad cohesion off the field, which the coaching staff believes improves on‑field communication.

What’s next after the camp ends?

Following the two‑week stay, Korona returns to Kielce for the remaining league fixtures. The coach promises to keep training intensity high and make minor adjustments based on results. If the squad maintains form, the club can finish above the relegation zone and lay a solid foundation for next season.

Korona Kielce hopes the intensive Busko‑Zdrój camp yields tangible benefits – better results and a stronger team spirit ahead of the decisive league battles.
