Grupa Azoty S.A. has decided to increase its financial commitment to the speedway club from Tarnów. The funds will secure further support for its sports activities. The results achieved in the regular phase earned Grupa Azoty Unia Tarnów promotion to the play-offs. On September 9th, the team will compete against Texom Stal Rzeszów.
“We are satisfied that our consistent support has propelled the Tarnów speedway team to achieve success and progress to the play-off stage. We hope for its further triumphs and advancement to the higher league. This season marks another milestone in the revitalisation of speedway in Tarnów, an initiative that Grupa Azoty is actively participating in,” says Tomasz Hinc, President of the Grupa Azoty S.A. Management Board.
“Grupa Azoty Unia Tarnów is facing the challenge of the most important meetings of the season. By advancing to the play-off finals, we have fulfilled the high expectations of our fans and our Main Partner, Grupa Azoty. On behalf of the club's Management and Supervisory Board, we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Management Board of Grupa Azoty for their invaluable assistance and engagement in the operation and growth of speedway in Tarnów, a sport so dearly embraced by the local community of the Tarnów region. Without Grupa Azoty, speedway in Tarnów would not have been possible. We are immensely thankful for the support, which enables us to concentrate solely on striving for the pinnacle of success in the final matches,” said Daniel Bałut, Chairman of the Unia Tarnów ŻSSA Supervisory Board.
Grupa Azoty has provided support to Unia Tarnów for close to seven decades now, since the speedway section was first established at what was then the Unia Tarnów Company Sports Club. The club’s most successful seasons to date were: 1994, 2004, 2005, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. Grupa Azoty has contributed to their every success, including as three-time winners of the title of Polish Team Champions.
In the 2023 season, Grupa Azoty will again be the club’s main partner and title sponsor. Under individual, the company is also the main partner of each of the team members.
